The gene Neuroglian is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Nrg (CG1634, FBgn0002968). It has the cytological map location 7F2-7F4. Its sequence location is X:8411406..8446150. Its molecular function is described as calcium ion binding. It is involved in the biological processes described with 11 unique terms, many of which group under: anatomical structure development; central nervous system development; cell projection organization and biogenesis; neuron differentiation; cell morphogenesis; organ development; system development; synapse organization and biogenesis; cell adhesion; transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway; primary metabolic process. 54 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 54 unique terms, many of which group under: peripheral nervous system; nervous system; adult segment; abdominal lateral monoscolopidial chordotonal organ lch1; adult brain; larval abdominal segment; larval abdominal segment 5; abdominal segment 7; embryonic/larval tracheal system; embryonic neuron; synapse part; synapse; embryonic dorsal trunk; plasma membrane part; embryonic trachea; abdominal 2 lateral sensillum trichodeum lh1. It has 3 annotated transcripts and 3 annotated polypeptides.

ceb: central brain deranged (J.C. Hall)
Extra lobe, in adult brain, of approximately 400 coiled Kenyon-cell fibers next to calyx of mushroom bodies; olfactory learning in adults slightly reduced; memory is normal.
Nrg: Neuroglian
Encodes a protein that is likely to play a role in neural and glial cell adhesion in the developing Drosophila embryo. Widely expressed in the embryo, particularly on the surfaces of a large subset of neurons and glia that interact with and adhere to one another along the dorsal surface of the developing CNS and within the peripheral nerve roots; the protein can be detected along neuronal axons, but not cell bodies. Three polypeptides of 155, 167, and 180 kd are detected on Western blots; deglycosylation experiments reduce these to a single 155 kd band; removal of N-linked high-mannose oligosaccharides causes a shift to about 162 kd. It is also expressed in a number of non-neuronal tissues such as trachea, hindgut, salivary gland and muscle. Recessive alleles are embryonic lethals and show little or no evidence of Neuroglian expression; the overall structure of the CNS and PNS, and in particular the peripheral nerve roots and CNS axon pathways develop in a relatively normal way in lethal embryos.

Comments
Neuron-specific 180kD form.
The core 145-155 kD Nrg protein is glycosylated to produce a 167-180 kD protein. Nrg may play a role in neural and glial adhesion in the developing embryo.
