Galanin was first identified 30 years ago as a" classic neuropeptide," with actions primarily
as a modulator of neurotransmission in the brain and peripheral nervous system. Other …

The galanin peptide family consists of the “parental” galanin, galanin-message-associated
peptide (GMAP) which derives from the same peptide precursor gene product as galanin …

Tumor galanin content was measured in extracts from human pituitary adenomas using a
specific RIA method for monitoring human galanin. Twenty-two out of twenty-four tumors …

Galanin is a highly inducible neuropeptide, showing distinct up-regulation after pathological
disturbance within the nervous system. Significant increase in galanin expression is …

Simple Summary Peptidergic systems play an important role in cancer progression. The
galaninergic system (the peptide galanin and its receptors: galanin 1, 2 and 3) is involved in …

Recently we have shown that galanin binding significantly correlates with survival in
neuroblastoma patients, indicating a possible modulatory role of galanin receptors in …

Pituitary adenoma (PA) is prevalent in the general population. Due to its severe
complications and aggressive infiltration into the surrounding brain structure, the effective …

Galanin is a regulatory 30-or 29-amino acid peptide, widely distributed in the nervous
system and gut, that acts via three subtypes of G protein-coupled receptors, named GAL-R1 …

The increasing interest in peptides and peptide receptors in cancer is based on the
possibility of receptor targeting, because peptide receptors are often expressed in different …

Many tumours of neuroendocrine origin, and also an increasing number of non-
neuroendocrine cancers, have been shown to express neuropeptides and/or their …
