The second galanin receptor GalR2 plays a key role in neurite outgrowth from adult sensory neurons

SA Mahoney, R Hosking, S Farrant… - Journal of …, 2003 - Soc Neuroscience
Expression of the neuropeptide galanin is markedly upregulated within the adult dorsal root
ganglion (DRG) after peripheral nerve injury. We demonstrated previously that the rate of …

Mice deficient for galanin receptor 2 have decreased neurite outgrowth from adult sensory neurons and impaired pain‐like behaviour

SA Hobson, FE Holmes, NCH Kerr… - Journal of …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Expression of the neuropeptide galanin is markedly up‐regulated within the adult dorsal root

Targeted disruption of the galanin gene reduces the number of sensory neurons and their regenerative capacity

FE Holmes, S Mahoney, VR King… - Proceedings of the …, 2000 - National Acad Sciences
The neuropeptide galanin is expressed developmentally in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG)
and is rapidly up-regulated 120-fold after peripheral nerve section in the adult. Here we …

Galanin stimulates neurite outgrowth from sensory neurons by inhibition of Cdc42 and Rho GTP ases and activation of cofilin

SA Hobson, PA Vanderplank, RJP Pope… - Journal of …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
We and others have previously shown that the neuropeptide galanin modulates neurite
outgrowth from adult sensory neurons via activation of the second galanin receptor; …

Sensory neuronal phenotype in galanin receptor 2 knockout mice: focus on dorsal root ganglion neurone development and pain behaviour

TJS Shi, X Hua, X Lu, S Malkmus… - European Journal of …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Galanin is a 29‐amino‐acid peptide expressed in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurones and
spinal dorsal horn neurones. It affects pain threshold and has developmental and trophic …

Expression and regulation of galanin-R2 receptors in rat primary sensory neurons: effect of axotomy and inflammation

TJS Shi, X Zhang, K Holmberg, ZQD Xu, T Hökfelt - Neuroscience letters, 1997 - Elsevier
Using in situ hybridization, we studied galanin-R2 receptor (GAL-R2-R) mRNA in rat lumbar
5 dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) at different time points after peripheral tissue inflammation and …

Inducible galanin and GalR2 receptor system in motor neuron injury and regeneration

TCD Burazin, AL Gundlach - Journal of neurochemistry, 1998 - Wiley Online Library
Galanin has been ascribed several physiological roles that are thought to be mediated via
multiple galanin receptors. Recently, two galanin receptors—galanin receptor‐1 (GalR1) …

Generation and phenotypic characterization of a galanin overexpressing mouse

K Holmberg, E Kuteeva, P Brumovsky, U Kahl… - Neuroscience, 2005 - Elsevier
In most parts of the peripheral nervous system galanin is expressed at very low levels. To
further understand the functional role of galanin, a mouse overexpressing galanin under the …

Galanin–25 years with a multitalented neuropeptide: galanin acts as a trophic factor to the central and peripheral nervous systems

SA Hobson, A Bacon, CR Elliot-Hunt… - Cellular and Molecular …, 2008 - Springer
The neuropeptide galanin is widely, but not ubiquitously, expressed in the adult nervous
