Wnt and calcium signaling: β-Catenin-independent pathways
Abstract
Wnt signaling is a complex pathway in which beta-catenin is typically viewed as a central mediator. However, within the past 15 years, at least three Wnt-mediated pathways have been proposed that function independent of beta-catenin. One pathway involves activation of calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CamKII) and protein kinase C (PKC). Another includes recruitment of heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins to activate phospholipase C (PLC) and phosphodiesterase (PDE). Lastly, a pathway similar to the planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway in Drosophila has been identified that activates the Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK) and, perhaps, small GTP-binding proteins. Calcium has been implicated as an important second messenger in all of these pathways. This review will focus on the role of calcium in Wnt signaling and, as a consequence, provide a limited overview of beta-catenin-independent Wnt signaling.

The Wnt/Ca2+ pathway emerged with the finding that some Wnts and Fz receptors can stimulate intracellular Ca2+ release from ER and this pathway is dependent on G-proteins.

From Wnt signal transduction pathways (2008) · cites this paper as [90]
Wnt signaling can proceed through the canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway or through multiple non-canonical pathways, some of which involve Ca2+ signaling.
“Signaling downstream of the proteolipid ligands known as Wnts can proceed via the canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway (Nelson and Nusse, 2004), or through multiple non-canonical pathways, not mediated by β-catenin (Gordon and Nusse, 2006; Rosso et al., 2005; Salinas and Zou, 2008), with some involving Ca2+ signaling (Kohn and Moon, 2005).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
