The gene Neural Lazarillo is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\NLaz (CG33126, FBgn0053126). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: lipid binding. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: triglyceride homeostasis; determination of adult lifespan; response to oxidative stress; multicellular organism reproduction; carbohydrate homeostasis. 7 alleles are reported. No phenotypic data is available. It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: Calycin; Calycin-like; Invertebrate colouration protein; Lipocalin, ApoD type; Lipocalin/cytosolic fatty-acid binding protein domain. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of no expression detected. Peak expression observed during late larval stages, during early pupal stages, in adult female stages. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: Many larval and adult organs/tissues expressed at moderate or high levels. Expression at high levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult crop, adult midgut, adult hindgut, adult Malpighian tubules, larval fat body, adult salivary gland, adult male accessory gland, adult carcass. Expression at moderate levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult head, adult eye, adult central nervous system, larval Malpighian tubules, adult heart, adult spermathecae, adult testis. Comments on Affy2 ProbeSet: ProbeSet 1630593_at completely aligns to an exonic region of the only FlyBase-annotated transcript isoform of NLaz. Gene sequence location is 2L:1359983..1361732.

NLaz transcript is expressed in a subset of neurons and neuroblasts in the embryonic CNS from embryonic stages 12-16. At stages 14-15, NLaz transcript is observed in 12-15 cells/hemisegment; this expression is finely temporally regulated. Most NLaz-expressing cells are located ventral to the neuropil. NLaz-expressing neuroblasts are located at the ventral midline, and may be midline precursors. There is no expression in the PNS. Non-neuronally, NLaz transcript is expressed in a group of dorsal anterior visceral mesodermal cells at embryonic stages 10-11. These cells migrate to the amnioserosa at stages 12-13. NLaz is also expressed in groups of non-epithelial sessile cells on the surface of the gut epithelium at embryonic stage 16-17.
NLaz protein is secreted from developing axons. NLaz protein is localized to the amnioserosa and to fat body cells. Localization in the embryonic CNS is mainly restricted to the dorsal surface of the brain and ventral nerve cord.
Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: Many larval and adult organs/tissues expressed at moderate or high levels. Expression at high levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult crop, adult midgut, adult hindgut, adult Malpighian tubules, larval fat body, adult salivary gland, adult male accessory gland, adult carcass. Expression at moderate levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult head, adult eye, adult central nervous system, larval Malpighian tubules, adult heart, adult spermathecae, adult testis.
