Also known as: GAL
Summary: This gene encodes a member of the galanin family of neuropeptides. The encoded protein binds galanin receptors 1, 2 and 3 with the highest affinity for galanin receptor 3 and has been implicated in biological processes involving the central nervous system including hypothalamic regulation of metabolism and reproduction. A peptide encoded by a splice variant of this gene, termed alarin, has vasoactive properties, displays antimicrobial activity against E. coli, and may serve as a marker for neuroblastic tumors.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]

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.

NM_001145546.2 → NP_001139018.1 galanin-like peptide isoform 2 precursor

See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001139018.1

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) lacks an exon in the coding region, which results in a frameshift and an early stop codon compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (2) has a distinct and shorter C-terminus compared to isoform 1. This variant, termed alarin, is a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) but is being represented as protein-coding based on evidence supporting the transcript and protein described in PMID 16954604. The exon structure of this variant is based on Figure 1 from PMID 16954604.
