Protein wntless homolog, commonly known as Wntless, is encoded in humans by the WLS gene .[5] Wntless is a receptor for Wnt proteins in Wnt-secreting cells.[6]
Wntless was shown to be a cargo for the retromer complex.[6] It has been found essential for hair follicle induction.[7]
A homozygous missense mutation in the WLS gene was identified in Zaki syndrome.[8]
