Three galanin receptor subtypes have been identified worldwide. Correct Answer True
At least three subtypes of galanin receptors have been identified: GALR1, GALR2, and GALR3, which are commonly expressed in gastric and intestinal smooth muscle cells, pancreas, and CNS. The activities of galanin include food intake control, memory and cognition, and anti-nociception, and in the pituitary, pancreas, and gut, it modulates several neuroendocrine systems.
