Agonist Comments
GAL3 receptor requires amino acids 17-19 of galanin for binding, and binding affinity is lost following removal of amino acids 1 and 2 of the peptide [8].

Various peptide fragments derived from porcine galanin message-associated peptide (GMAP, residues 65-123) have been tested for binding against GAL3 receptor but have been reported to have very weak [GMAP(1-30), GMAP(1-41), GMAP(44-59) [40]] or no measuirable binding [GMAP(1-41), GMAP(16-41), GMAP(25-41), GMAP(44-59) [35]].

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

Gi/Go family Adenylyl cyclase inhibition
Potassium channel
Comments:  Signalling properties of GAL3 receptor are still ill-defined, but several studies suggest GAL3 receptor couples to Gi/G0 proteins to inhibit adenylate cyclase, and to stimulate a pertussis-sensitive activation of an inward K+ current when coexpressed with GIRK1 and GIRK4 in Xenopus oocytes [16,35] (reviewed in [21]).

Measurement of functional activity of Xenopus oocyte cells tranfected with GAL3 receptor, GIRK1 (G protein-coupled inwardly-rectifying potassium channel 1) and GIRK3. Galanin activated GIRK1 and GIRK4 in GAL3 receptor-cotransfected Xenopus oocyte cells, suggesting involvement of the Gi/Go proteins. Injection of pertussis toxin caused a 98% reduction of galanin currents in GAL3 receptor-expressing oocytes.

In rats, the GAL3 receptor antagonist SNAP 37889 demonstrates anxiolytic activity, with increased punished drinking the the Vogel conflict test, antidepressant-like effects, with a decrease in immobility in the forced swim test. SNAP 37889 significantly reverses galanin-induced inhibition of dorsal raphe neuronal firing, inhibits galanin-evoked hyperpolarising currents and partially antagonises galanin-evoked reduction in hippocampal serotonin (completely antagonised when administered in combination with 5HT1A antagonist WAY100635).

Tissue:  In vivo/ventral hippocampus/dorsal raphe nucleus and dorsal raphe neurons.
