Galr3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable galanin receptor activity and peptide hormone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in adenylate cyclase-modulating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; neuropeptide signaling pathway; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in non-motile cilium. Orthologous to human GALR3 (galanin receptor 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Galr3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- G-protein coupled receptor
- Cholecystokinin A receptor, N-terminal
- galanin receptor
- 7 transmembrane receptor (rhodopsin family)
