Description

galanin and GMAP prepropeptide

Gene Summary

Predicted to enable galanin receptor activity; galanin receptor binding activity; and neuropeptide hormone activity. Involved in several processes, including regulation of glucocorticoid metabolic process; response to estrogen; and response to insulin. Located in secretory granule. Biomarker of brain ischemia; hypertension; mononeuropathy; and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial temporal lobe epilepsy 8 and opiate dependence. Orthologous to human GAL (galanin and GMAP prepropeptide). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, May 2025]
