About WLS
Enables Wnt-protein binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of cell communication and protein transport. Located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; early endosome; and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Implicated in Zaki syndrome.
