Canonical Wnt Signaling Pathway (Wnt/β-catenin pathway)

Target
Wnt/β-catenin pathway
Molecular classification
Signaling Pathway
01

Overview

The canonical Wnt signaling pathway is a highly conserved signal transduction cascade that regulates gene expression in response to extracellular Wnt ligands. This pathway plays critical roles in embryonic development, cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and tissue homeostasis. Dysregulation of this pathway is implicated in various diseases including cancer and congenital disorders.
