Uses
Galanin (1-15) (porcine, rat) is the N-terminal 15 amino acids peptide fragment of the neuropeptide galanin. Galanin (1-15) (porcine, rat) interacts with the 5-HT1A receptor in the dorsal hippocampus of the rat brain, reduces the affinity of 5-HT1A receptors, and regulates the serotonin neuronal networks[1].
