Retromer retrieves wntless

Dev Cell. 2008 Jan;14(1):4-6. doi: 10.1016/j.devcel.2007.12.014.

Abstract

Wntless is a sorting receptor required for Wnt secretion. Wntless is retrieved from endosomes to the Golgi by retromer, permitting Wntless reutilization in Wnt transport. In the absence of retromer, Wntless is degraded in lysosomes and Wnt secretion is impaired.
