Potent galanin receptor 2/3 (GAL2/GAL3) agonist (EC50 values are 45.7 and 112.2 nM, respectively). Exhibits no significant activity at galanin receptor 1. Endogenous satiety-inducing peptide; inhibits long chain fatty acid uptake by adipocytes and decreases food consumption in diet-induced obese mice and rats. Attenuates LH secretion in goldfish. Exhibits anxiolytic effects in vivo.

Galanin (1-30), human is a 30-amino acid neuropeptide, and acts as an agonist of GalR1 and GalR2 receptors, with Kis of both 1 nM. Endogenous peptide with multiple endocrine, metabolic and behavioral effects. Has been shown to have an action on intestinal smooth muscle, insulin and somatostatin release, and synaptic neurotransmission.

Neuropeptide FF receptor agonist (Ki values are 48.4 and 12.1 nM for NPFF1 and NPFF2, respectively). Potentiates the antinociceptive action of morphine in vivo and reverses the loss of morphine potency in tolerant animals. Also increases the amplitude of the sustained current of heterologously expressed acid sensing ion channel 3 (ASIC3) (EC50 ~ 50 μM).
