    Summary
    Enables Wnt-protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including brain development; cementum mineralization; and exocrine pancreas development. Acts upstream of or within Wnt protein secretion. Located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; cytoplasmic vesicle; and endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; respiratory system; sensory organ; and skin. Used to study Zaki syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Zaki syndrome. Orthologous to human WLS (Wnt ligand secretion mediator). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
