OverviewNCBI Gene
The neuropeptide galanin modulates a variety of physiologic processes including cognition/memory, sensory/pain processing, hormone secretion, and feeding behavior. The human galanin receptors are G protein-coupled receptors that functionally couple to their intracellular effector through distinct signaling pathways. GALR3 is found in many tissues and may be expressed as 1.4-, 2.4-, and 5-kb transcripts [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Whether an antibody against GALR3 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads GALR3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GALR3 could matter depends on whether native GALR3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
GALR3 is annotated at the cell surface, where native GALR3 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.
Annotation status
The present source text does not explicitly label GALR3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
