Fig 1.

The pleiotropic function of human cathelicidin LL-37. In the extracellular environment, the LL-37 peptide has various functions resulting from its ability to activate certain plasma membrane receptors and/or to insert into the plasma membrane, thereby disrupting the integrity of the plasma membrane. LL-37 may also interact with substances that build microbial cells and components of the biofilm matrix. IL, interleukin; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; NETs, neutrophil extracellular traps; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α.
