GALR2
Galanin is a crucial neuromodulator found in the hypothalamopituitary axis, gastrointestinal tract, and brain. It is a 30-amino acid non-C-terminally amidated peptide that effectively increases the release of growth hormone, prevents cardiac vagal heart rate slowing, eliminates sinus arrhythmia, and reduces postprandial gastrointestinal motility. Galanin interacts with particular membrane receptors that belong to the 7-transmembrane family of G protein-coupled receptors to exert its effects. The galanin peptide's N-terminal residues interact with GALR2. The phospholipase C/protein kinase C pathway serves as GALR2's main signaling pathway (via Gq). However, it has been shown that GALR2 effectively links to both the Gq and Gi proteins, activating 2 separate signaling pathways at once.
