Summary: Predicted to enable galanin receptor activity; galanin receptor binding activity; and neuropeptide hormone activity. Involved in several processes, including regulation of glucocorticoid metabolic process; response to estrogen; and response to insulin. Located in secretory granule. Biomarker of brain ischemia; hypertension; mononeuropathy; and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial temporal lobe epilepsy 8 and opiate dependence. Orthologous to human GAL (galanin and GMAP prepropeptide). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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. Animals receiving PG treatment showed basal expression levels of galanin, NPY, GalR1 and Y1R, and reduced Y2R mRNA levels

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
