GALR2 also known as Galanin receptor type 2 is a G protein-coupled receptor with a molecular mass of around 38 kDa. This receptor is expressed in several tissues including the central nervous system peripheral nervous system and various peripheral organs. GALR2 interacts with the neuropeptide galanin which modulates several physiological functions. The receptor signals through different classes of G proteins leading to the activation of intracellular second messengers.
Biological function summary

GALR2 influences numerous processes essential for maintaining homeostasis. It mediates cellular responses to stress appetite and mood through interaction with its ligand galanin. Though GALR2 does not form part of a larger receptor complex it plays a central role in its signaling pathways. Researchers recognize its function in promoting neurogenesis and modulating neurotransmitter release impacting several neural circuits.

Pathways

GALR2 plays roles in the MAPK/ERK pathway and the PI3K/AKT pathway. These pathways are essential for cell survival differentiation and proliferation. GALR2 interacts closely with other receptors such as GALR1 and GALR3 sharing similar downstream effects while maintaining distinct cellular responses. Such interactions help coordinate various physiological functions like memory and feeding behavior.

GALR2 has associations with depression and epilepsy. The receptor's modulation of mood regulation links it to depressive disorders while its influence on neurotransmitter release affects epilepsy-related pathways. In these conditions GALR2 often works with other galanin receptors particularly GALR1 to mechanisms that underpin neural dysfunction and resilience. Understanding its roles provides insight into potential therapeutic targets for managing these disorders.

Target data

Receptor for the hormone galanin and GALP. Receptor for the hormone spexin-1 (PubMed : 24517231). The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins that activate the phospholipase C/protein kinase C pathway (via G(q)) and that inhibit adenylyl cyclase (via G(i)).
