Galanin receptor 3
| View/Edit Human | View/Edit Mouse |
Galanin receptor 3 (GAL3) is a G-protein coupled receptor encoded by the GALR3 gene.[4]
Function
The neuropeptide galanin modulates a variety of physiologic processes including cognition/memory, sensory/pain processing, hormone secretion, and feeding behavior. The human galanin receptors are G protein-coupled receptors that functionally couple to their intracellular effector through distinct signaling pathways. GALR3 is found in many tissues and may be expressed as 1.4-, 2.4-, and 5-kb transcripts[4]
