  Entrez Gene 51083 Human
  UniProt ID P22466
• Background: Galanin is a 39 amino acid neuropeptide produced from the cleavage of the 123 amino acid preprogalanin (encoded by GAL gene). It is an inhibitory, hyperpolarizing neuropeptide and as such inhibits neurotransmitter release. Galanin signaling occurs through three G protein-coupled receptors and it is widely expressed in the brain, spinal cord, and gut of humans as well as other mammals. Galanin has been implicated in biological functions such as nociception, waking and sleep regulation, cognition, feeding, regulation of mood, and regulation of blood pressure, This antibody was generated by immunization of guinea pigs with Galanin coupled to a carrier protein.
• Synonyms: GAL1; galanin; GALN; GLNN; GMAP; MGC40167
