cathelicidin

Cathelicidin is a natural protein produced by your body's immune system, especially in cells like skin and white blood cells. Its main role is to help defend against bacteria, viruses, and fungi by directly attacking these pathogens and promoting immune responses. Think of it as part of your body's internal army, providing a rapid first line of defense to keep infections at bay. Researchers are exploring its potential in developing new treatments for infections and immune-related conditions.
