Biological Activity
| Targets |
Galanin (1-16) acts as an agonist at galanin receptors in the rat ventral hippocampus (IC₅₀ ≈ 3 nM). [1] |
| ln Vitro |
Galanin (1-16), mouse, pig, and rat, is an agonist of hippocampus galanin receptors with a Kd of 3 nM [1]. Galanin (1-16), mice, pigs, and rats demonstrate strong biological activity on locus coeruleus neurons [2]. Galanin (1-16) displaced 125I-labeled galanin from high-affinity binding sites in a ventral hippocampal membrane preparation with an IC₅₀ of approximately 3 nM. [1] Galanin (1-16) (1 µM) significantly inhibited the carbachol (0.1 mM)-stimulated breakdown of inositol phospholipids in slices of rat ventral hippocampus, an effect identical to that of full-length galanin-(1-29). [1] |
| ln Vivo |
Intracerebroventricular administration of Galanin (1-16) (10 µg/15 µl) caused a long-lasting inhibition of the scopolamine (0.3 mg/kg, s.c.)-induced release of acetylcholine in the rat ventral hippocampus, as measured by in vivo microdialysis. This inhibition was dose-dependent in the range of 5-20 µg/15 µl. [1] |
| Animal Protocol |
For the in vivo acetylcholine release study, a dialysis probe was implanted into the ventral hippocampus of anesthetized rats. The following day, the probe was perfused with Ringer's solution containing physostigmine. After a baseline collection period, Galanin (1-16) was administered intracerebroventricularly (at doses of 5, 10, or 20 µg in 15 µl volume) 2 minutes prior to subcutaneous injection of scopolamine (0.3 mg/kg). Perfusates were collected at 20-minute intervals and analyzed for acetylcholine content. [1] |

| Additional Infomation |
Galanin (1-16) is the N-terminal fragment of the neuropeptide galanin. In this study, it was prepared by both solid-phase synthesis and enzymatic cleavage of full-length galanin. [1] The fragment exhibits high-affinity binding to hippocampal galanin receptors and functions as a full agonist in inhibiting muscarinic agonist-stimulated phosphoinositide breakdown. [1] The amino acid residue [Trp²] is crucial for activity. Substitution with [D-Trp²] resulted in a 500-fold loss in receptor affinity and abolished the functional agonist activity in the phosphoinositide breakdown assay. [1] |

InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
