Biology:Protein wntless homolog
From HandWiki
Short description: Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
 Generic protein structure example |
Protein wntless homolog, commonly known as Wntless, is encoded in humans by the WLS gene .[1] Wntless is a receptor for Wnt proteins in Wnt-secreting cells.[2]
Wntless was shown to be a cargo for the retromer complex.[2] It has been found essential for hair follicle induction.[3]
A homozygous missense mutation in the WLS gene was identified in Zaki syndrome.[4]
