Galanin receptor 3 (GAL3) is a G-protein coupled receptor encoded by the GALR3 gene.The neuropeptide galanin modulates a variety of physiologic processes including cognition/memory sensory/pain processing hormone secretion and feeding behavior. The human galanin receptors are G protein-coupled receptors that functionally couple to their intracellular effector through distinct signaling pathways. GALR3 is found in many tissues and may be expressed as 1.4- 2.4- and 5-kb transcripts
