Our Grillet paper doesn’t 100% prove it’s the fly homolog of TOR1AIP1/2 .. but it was identified as such in another a paper (Sosa, et al, E-Life 2014) - and then our data also support it.

On this basis, we would normally name the gene ‘LAP1’ in FlyBase (dropping the ‘d’ (for ‘drosophila’) prefix). However, we can’t do that in this case as there is a pre-existing gene named ‘Lap1’ (FBgn0033984) which has been referred to as such in several publications. So, can you suggest an alternative symbol/name for the CG14103 gene in FlyBase? The equivalent human/mouse genes (in the HGNC and MGI databases) seem to be called 'TOR1AIP1/2’ for ‘Torsin 1A interacting protein 1/2’ (though the orthology ‘scores' are low). Based on that, how about ‘TORIP' or maybe ‘TorsinIP’ for ‘Torsin interacting protein’? Steven FlyBase
