The transmembrane protein Wntless (WLS) is essential for the secretion of Wnt proteins, which are signaling molecules of the Wnt signaling pathways. Here, the authors present the 2.2 Å cryo-EM structure of human WLS in complex with Wnt3a and discuss mechanistic implications for the palmitoleoylation of Wnt3a that is required for WLS mediated Wnt secretion.
