Human galanin is a 30-amino acid neuropeptide and galanin (GAL) receptor agonist.1,2,3,4 It inhibits forskolin-induced cAMP production in HEK293E cells expressing recombinant human GAL1 receptors (EC50 = 0.031 nM) and stimulates inositol phosphate accumulation in CHO cells expressing recombinant human GAL2 receptors (EC50 = 12.3 nM).1,2 Human galanin induces contractions in isolated rat longitudinal fundus strips with an EC50 value of 13.8 nM.3 Intrathecal administration of human galanin (3, 10, and 30 nmol/animal) reduces paw licking and flinching in the second, but not first, phase of the formalin test in rats.4
