GALR1 (galanin receptor type 1) belongs to the 7-transmembrane G-protein coupled receptor 1 (GPCR1) family and serves as the receptor for the neuropeptide Galanin and GALP (Galanin-like peptide),.  Galanin is a 30-amino acid non-C-terminally amidated peptide and an important neuromodulator in the brain, gastrointestinal system, and hypothalamopituitary axis. Galanin modulates a variety of physiologic processes including cognition/memory, sensory/pain processing, hormone secretion, and feeding behavior.  Galanin potently stimulates growth hormone secretion, inhibits cardiac vagal slowing of heart rate, abolishes sinus arrhythmia, and inhibits postprandial gastrointestinal motility. Galanin elicits a wide range of biological effects by interaction with specific GPCRs that activate multiple intracellular second-messenger pathways, including the inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity via a G protein of the Gi/Go family. GALR1 is known to interact with other GPCRs such as GRP39 and HTR1A (5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1A). GALR1 is widely expressed in the brain and spinal cord, as well as in peripheral sites such as the small intestine and heart.

Product Details

 

Gene Symbol: GALR1; GAL-R1; GALNR; GALNR1; GAL1-R; GALR-1

 

NCBI Gene ID: 2587

 

Uniprot Entry: P47211

 

Construct Details: Full length human GALR1 gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter and with or without a selection marker, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells.  It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles. Multiple choices of a stable antibiotic selection marker are available.

 

Vector Type: pLTC or pLTC-IRES-Marker (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter, see the vector map above)

 

Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)

 

Gene Insert Size: 1050 (bp)

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CCAGGTTTCCGGGCCCTCAC-3’

 

 

Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification.  High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
