Background |
Actions of neuropeptide galanin are mediated by three G-protein coupled receptors, GalR1, GalR2, and GalR3. Human GALR2 was shown to couple to phospholipase C and to be involved in the elevation of intracellular calcium levels. GALR2 mRNA shows a wide distribution in the brain (mammillary nuclei, dentate gyrus, cingulate gyrus, posterior hypothalamic, supraoptic, and arcuate nuclei) and restricted peripheral tissue distribution with highest mRNA levels detected in human small intestine. Galanin has been implicated in anxiety-related behaviors, cognition, analgesia, and feeding in rodents. |

Figure 1: Galanin (1-30)-induced concentration-dependent stimulation of intracellular calcium mobilization in CHO-K1/GALR2 cells. The cells were loaded with Calcium-4 prior to stimulation with a GALR2 receptor agonist, galanin (1-30). The intracellular calcium change was measured by FLIPRTETRA. The relative fluorescent units (RFU) were normalized and plotted against the log of the cumulative doses (5-fold dilution) of galanin (1-30) (Mean ± SEM, n = 3). The EC50 of galanin (1-30) on this cell was 0.37 μM.
Notes:
EC50 value is calculated with four parameter logistic equation:
Y=Bottom + (Top-Bottom) / (1+10^((LogEC50-X)*Hill Slope))
X is the logarithm of concentration. Y is the response
Y is % stimulation of RFU and starts at Bottom and goes to Top with a sigmoid shape.
