The series of molecular signals initiated by binding of a Wnt protein to a frizzled family receptor on the surface of the target cell, followed by propagation of the signal via effectors other than beta-catenin. [ GOC:signaling ]
Synonyms: non-canonical Wnt receptor signaling pathway non-canonical Wnt receptor signalling pathway non-canonical Wnt-activated signaling pathway beta-catenin-independent Wnt receptor signaling pathway
Term information
This term should only be used when Wnt receptor signaling occurs via a beta-catenin-independent route but the downstream effectors are unknown. If the downstream effectors are known, consider instead annotating to one of the children, or requesting a new term.
