Anti-GAL Antibody

This rabbit polyclonal IgG reagent targets galanin, a neuropeptide expressed throughout the central and peripheral nervous system. Produced by Antibodies.com and supplied as an unconjugated liquid at 100 µl per vial, the antibody is raised in rabbit and validated for immunohistochemistry on rat tissue preparations.

Galanin research focuses on its neuromodulatory roles in feeding behavior, nociception, memory processing, and hypothalamic-pituitary regulation. Investigators use this reagent to map GAL-immunoreactive neurons in regions such as the arcuate nucleus, spinal dorsal horn, and dorsal root ganglia, where the peptide is co-localized with classical neurotransmitters.

The unconjugated format allows flexible pairing with enzyme- or fluorophore-conjugated secondary antibodies for chromogenic and immunofluorescence workflows on fixed sections. For best results, aliquot upon first thaw and store refrigerated to preserve activity across long-term experiments.
