CAMP

CAMP cathelicidin — the molecular target that 1 compounds in the wiki act on.

In one line: The gene for a natural antibiotic your own body makes.

CAMP makes LL-37, a natural antimicrobial your body produces to punch holes in bacteria and help wounds heal. It's being explored as a supplement peptide for infection and healing, but the evidence is very early. Interesting biology, minimal human proof so far. (Note: don't confuse the gene name "CAMP" with the messenger molecule "cAMP" from the doorbell pathway — different things.)
