Galantide Peptide

Galantide is a galanin antagonist consisting of aa 1-13 of galanin and the C-terminal fragment of bradykinin. Galantide reversibly blocks the neuronal activities of galanin. Galanin has different activities such as contraction of smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal and genito-urinary tract, regulation of growth hormone and insulin release, and control of adrenal secretion.
