Agonist Comments
Rat and mouse galanin sequences are identical [54]. Binding affinity is lost with removal of amino acids 1 and 2 of galanin [11].
Galanin(D-Trp2) and galanin(2-29) both have higher binding affinity for GAL2 than GAL1 receptors [11].
Many different galanin analogues were trialled in [14] and [77]. The most active compounds are reported in the table above. The Ki values of other analogues are listed in these publications.

[94] and [24] have data for two types of radioligand binding assays; membrane binding and whole-cell binding assays.

NOTE that compounds with -ve log10 affinities <6 have no appreciable agonist function.
