Description

Galanin-Like Peptide (1-60) (Porcine) is a synthetic peptide fragment corresponding to the N-terminal 60 amino acid sequence of the porcine galanin-like peptide (GALP). This compound is a critical research tool for studying the neuroendocrine functions of GALP, particularly its role in energy homeostasis, feeding behavior, and reproduction. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D teams, academic researchers, and biotechnology companies focused on metabolic disorders and neuropeptide signaling pathways. The product is supplied with a Certificate of Analysis to ensure batch-to-batch consistency for reliable experimental results.

Application

• Neuroscientific Research: Used as a reference standard and active agent in studies investigating the central nervous system effects of GALP, including its interaction with galanin receptors.
• Metabolic Disorder Studies: Applied in preclinical research to explore the peptide's influence on food intake, body weight regulation, and energy balance for potential therapeutic insights.
• Endocrinology Assays: Serves as a key component in in vitro and in vivo assays to elucidate the role of GALP in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.
• Biomarker Development: Utilized in the development and validation of immunoassays (e.g., ELISA, RIA) for the detection and quantification of GALP and related peptides.
• Receptor Binding & Signal Transduction: Employed in competitive binding studies and functional assays to characterize receptor affinity and downstream signaling pathways.
• Pharmaceutical Peptide Synthesis: Acts as a starting material or intermediate for the synthesis of modified peptide analogs with enhanced stability or activity.

Quality Control

Every batch of Galanin-Like Peptide (1-60) (Porcine) is manufactured under controlled conditions and undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure the highest standards of purity and identity. Our quality commitment includes comprehensive characterization by multiple orthogonal methods. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, peptide content, and analytical results are provided with each shipment to support your regulatory and research documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store desiccated at -20°C or below. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake. For long-term storage, consider aliquoting to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
