galanin message associated peptide |

abbr. and approved gene symbol: GALP. Ohtaki et al (1999) have isolated galanin-like peptide from porcine hypothalamus, using a binding assay for galanin receptors, and also cloned rat and human genes. The peptide had 60 amino acid residues and a non-amidated C-terminus. The amino acid sequence of GALP(9-21) is completely identical to residues 1-13 of the neuropeptide galanin. For a splice variant of galanin-like peptide see: Alarin.
