Galanin is a peptide consisting of 29 or 30 (in humans) amino acids that is present in
sensory and spinal dorsal horn neurons. Endogenous galanin may have an important …

Abstract Galanin, a 29-amino-acid peptide expressed in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and
spinal dorsal horn interneurones, is regulated by nerve injury and peripheral inflammation …

Galanin‐like immunoreactivity and galanin receptors are found in dorsal root ganglion
(DRG) cells and in dorsal horn interneurons, suggesting that this neuropeptide may have a …

Galanin is a 29-aa neuropeptide with a complex role in pain processing. Several galanin
receptor subtypes are present in dorsal root ganglia and spinal cord with a differential …

The distribution and physiological effects of the neuropeptide galanin (GAL) have been
examined in the somatosensory system. GAL is normally present in a few sensory neurons …

The endogenous inhibitory role of the neuropeptide galanin in pain transmission and spinal
cord excitability was demonstrated by the use of a high-affinity galanin receptor antagonist …

Genetically modified mice with transgenic overexpression of galanin or depletion of genes
for galanin or galanin receptors have become available, providing a new approach for …

Galanin is a neuropeptide expressed in a small percentage of sensory neurons of the dorsal
root ganglia and the superficial lamina of the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. In this work, we …
