Galanin receptor 3 (GAL3) is a G-protein coupled receptor encoded by the GALR3 gene. 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 This article incorporates text from the United States National Library of Medicine, which is in the public domain.
