Cloning and Distribution of Galanin-Like Peptide mRNA in the Hypothalamus and Pituitary of the Macaque
1 Mar 2002
Abstract excerpt
Galanin-like peptide (GALP) is a newly discovered hypothalamic neuropeptide, which is regulated by leptin and implicated in the regulation of GnRH secretion in the rodent. We searched the human genome database and determined that the human GALP gene comprises six exons, as has been shown for human galanin. We used rapid amplification of cDNA ends to clone a full-length cDNA (802 bp) of the macaque homologue of...
