WLS
Wnt ligand secretion mediator | EVI, FLJ23091, MRP, mig-14, C1orf139, GPR177

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.

WLS — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating WLS 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for WLS. The Binding column indicates whether any binding evidence exists for this TF–gene pair (ChIP-seq or motif footprint peaks). The Mean coef is the average Perturb-seq regression coefficient across active gRNAs (positive = WLS upregulated upon KD; negative = downregulated). The Outlier column indicates whether this gene is in the top or bottom 5% of all TF knockdown effects.

Elements linked to WLS

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of WLS, linked by TSS proximity or chromatin conformation (Multiome / HiCAR). Each element overlaps at least one TF ChIP-seq binding site — the TFs column shows how many distinct TFs bind that element.
