Mouse Cathelicidin Antimicrobial Peptide, LL-37 ELI

Cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP) is a polypeptide that is primarily stored in the lysosomes of macrophages and polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs); in humans, the CAMP gene encodes the peptide precursor CAP-18 (18 kDa), which is processed by proteinase 3-mediated extracellular cleavage into the active form LL-37.

LL-37 is the only peptide in the Cathelicidin family found in the human body.
