The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).
Comment: weak expression
Comment: strong expression
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.

Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see JBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.
