GALR1, GALNR, GALNR1, Galanin receptor type 1, GAL1-R, GALR-1
The neuropeptide galanin elicits a range of biological effects by interaction with specific G-protein-coupled receptors. Galanin receptors are seven-transmembrane proteins shown to activate a variety of intracellular second-messenger pathways. GALR1 inhibits adenylyl cyclase via a G protein of the Gi/Go family. GALR1 is widely expressed in the brain and spinal cord, as well as in peripheral sites such as the small intestine and heart. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],function:Receptor for the hormone galanin. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins that inhibit adenylate cyclase activity.,PTM:Palmitoylated on at least one of the three cysteine residues present in the C-terminal part.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.,
