Disease
WLS_HUMAN The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Function
WLS_HUMAN Regulates Wnt proteins sorting and secretion in a feedback regulatory mechanism. This reciprocal interaction plays a key role in the regulation of expression, subcellular location, binding and organelle-specific association of Wnt proteins (PubMed:34587386). Plays also an important role in establishment of the anterior-posterior body axis formation during development (By similarity).[1] [2] [3]
