Target Background

Function
(From Uniprot)
Endocrine hormone of the central and peripheral nervous systems that binds and activates the G protein-coupled receptors GALR1, GALR2, and GALR3. This small neuropeptide may regulate diverse physiologic functions including contraction of smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tract, growth hormone and insulin release and adrenal secretion.

  1. Both the galanin and galanin receptor 2 mRNA expression and content increased significantly in anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in rats with mononeuropathy than that in normal rats. PMID: 28378856
  2. PG early treatment prevented Y1R upregulation and resulted in lower NPY, Y2R and GalR1 mRNA levels. In the chronic phase, injured rats showed well-established mechanical and cold allodynia and significant increases in galanin, NPY, GalR1 and Y1R mRNAs, while maintaining reduced GalR2 expression.

  12. Findings from the present study suggest that paraventricular nucleus GAL or chronic intake of a high-fat diet can decrease phosphorylated CREB in the nucleus accumbens; implications of these findings may help to explain the lack of opiate-like withdrawal that has been reported in response to overeating a high-fat diet.
