Description for Galanin
Hardcover. This overview of galanin research shows how the identification, isolation and characterization of this peptide was brought about and how its functionality was revealed as the pharmacological tools to dissect galaninergic mechanisms were developed. Editor(s): Hokfelt, Tomas. Series: Experientia Supplementum. Num Pages: 286 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PSAN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 20. Weight in Grams: 662.
Galanin is a neuropeptide found both in the central and peripheral nervous system. The 29-amino acid peptide (named after its N-terminal glycine and C-terminal alanine) was identified in 1983 by its C-terminal amidation. This 'reverse' approach, that is to discover a substance through a distinct chemical feature, and only subsequently to characterize its biological activity, was novel and has been successful in the identification of several other peptides. After the structure of galanin was determined in 1983, functional studies were performed with material purified from natural sources until the synthetic form of the peptide became available. Galanin can ... Read more
