Gene information for GALP (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID85569
Official gene symbolGALP
Full namegalanin-like peptide
Aliases,-,
Gene summaryThis 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, may have vasoactive properties and serve as a marker for neuroblastic tumors.
