{"symbol":"GALR1","synonyms":["GALNR","GALNR1"],"name":"galanin receptor 1","description":"The neuropeptide galanin elicits a range of biological effects by interaction with specific G-protein-coupled receptors.  Galanin receptors are seven-transmembrane proteins shown to activate a variety of intracellular second-messenger pathways.  GALR1 inhibits adenylyl cyclase via a G protein of the Gi/Go family.  GALR1 is widely expressed in the brain and spinal cord, as well as in peripheral sites such as the small intestine and heart.
