GAL - galanin and GMAP prepropeptide Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as ETL8; GALN; GLNN; GMAP; GAL-GMAP

Gene ID: 51083 | Gene type: protein coding

About GAL

Cytogenetic location: 11q13.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 11:68,684,544-68,691,175 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 187 orthologues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Biased expression in appendix (RPKM 6.0), colon (RPKM 2.3) and 5 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a neuroendocrine peptide that is widely expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems and also the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, adrenal gland and urogenital tract. The encoded protein is a precursor that is proteolytically processed to generate two mature peptides: Galanin and Galanin message-associated peptide (GMAP). Galanin has diverse physiological functions including nociception, feeding and energy homeostasis, osmotic regulation and water balance. GMAP has been demonstrated to possess Antifungal activity and hypothesized to be part of the innate immune system. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]
