Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
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).
