About Gal

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 Golgi apparatus and 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. Orthologous to human GAL (Galanin and GMAP prepropeptide). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
