galanin , human

Galanin (1-19), human, represents the fragment encompassing amino acids 1 to 19 of the human galanin neuropeptide. Galanin (GAL) is known for its extensive distribution and multifaceted biological roles, such as regulating hormone secretion, providing antinociceptive effects, and altering feeding behavior.

Galanin (1-30), human, is a 30-amino acid neuropeptide that acts as an agonist of GalR1 and GalR2 receptors with Kis of 1 nM for both. This endogenous peptide exhibits multiple endocrine, metabolic, and behavioral effects, influencing intestinal smooth muscle, insulin and somatostatin release, and synaptic neurotransmission.

Galanin (2-11) amide is a synthetic peptide fragment of the neuropeptide galanin and an agonist of the galanin-2 (GAL2) receptor (EC50= 9.32 nM in a fluorescence imaging plate reader assay).1It selectively binds to the GAL2receptor (IC50= 1.76 nM for the rat receptor) over the GAL1receptor (IC50= 879 nM for the human receptor) but does also bind to the GAL3receptor (Ki= 271 nM for the rat receptor).1,2Intracerebroventricular administration of galanin (2-11) amide (1 nmol/animal) decreases immobility in the forced swim test in rats.3It also reduces the hind paw mechanical pain threshold and increases the hind paw cold sensitivity threshold in rats.1

Galanin (Human) (Acetate) is a 30-amino acid neuropeptide and galanin (GAL) receptor agonist.It inhibits forskolin-induced cAMP production in HEK293E cells expressing recombinant human GAL1 receptors (EC50= 0.031 nM) and stimulates inositol phosphate accumulation in CHO cells expressing recombinant human GAL2receptors (EC50= 12.3 nM).Human galanin induces contractions in isolated rat longitudinal fundus strips with an EC50value of 13.8 nM.Intrathecal administration of human galanin (3, 10, and 30 nmol/animal) reduces paw licking and flinching in the second, but not first, phase of the formalin test in rats.

Galanin-Like Peptide (human) is a neuropeptide composed of 60 amino acids, crucial for regulating feeding, body weight, and energy metabolism [1].

Galanin (1-30), human acetate (Galanin ) is a 30-amino acid neuropeptide. Galanin (1-30), human acetate acts as an agonist of GalR1 and GalR2 receptors, with Kis of both 1 nM.

Galanin is a neuropeptide with diverse biological activities. [1][2][3][4][5] It binds to rat galanin (GAL) receptor subtypes GAL1-3 (IC50s = 0.339, 1.35, and 3.31 nM, respectively) and human GAL1-3 (IC50s = 0.288, 1.62, and 12.3 nM, respectively). [1] Galanin binds to and inhibits contraction of guinea pig gastric smooth muscle cells induced by carbachol . [2] In vivo, Galanin (6 nmol, i.c.v.) increases feeding behavior in rats and increases latency to hindpaw withdrawal in response to heat and mechanical stimulation in a rat model of carrageenin-induced inflammation when administered at a dose of 2 nmol injected into the nucleus accumbens.[3][4] Galanin (5 μg, i.c.v.) also inhibits acetylcholine release induced by scopolamine in the ventral hippocampus of freely moving rats. [5]

Human GALP (3-32) (Galanin-like peptide (3-32)) serves as a high-affinity agonist for galanin receptors GalR1 (IC50 = 33 nM) and GalR2 (IC50 = 15 nM), as evidenced by competitive binding studies. It demonstrates significant potency in modifying the extracellular acidification rate in SH-SY5Y cells expressing GalR2 (EC50 = 360 nM) [1].

Alarin (human) is a hypothalamic neuropeptide from the galanin peptide family that comprises the signal sequence of the GALP precursor and the initial five amino acids (aa) of the mature GALP [1].

Alarin (human) acetate is a neuropeptide belonging to the hypothalamic galanin family, widely expressed in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues of humans and rodents. It possesses the signal sequence of the GALP precursor peptide and the first five amino acids of mature GALP lacking exon 3 .Alarin exhibits vasoactive, anti-inflammatory, anti-oedematous, and antibacterial properties, alongside central regulatory functions in energy homeostasis, glucose homeostasis, body temperature, and reproductive hormone secretion.
