TLDR
This review will give a brief overview of the fundamental and evolving concepts of the Wnt/Ca(2+) signaling pathway.Abstract:
The non-canonical Wnt/Ca(2+) signaling cascade is less characterized than their canonical counterpart, the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. The non-canonical Wnt signaling pathways are diverse, defined as planer cell polarity pathway, Wnt-RAP1 signaling pathway, Wnt-Ror2 signaling pathway, Wnt-PKA pathway, Wnt-GSK3MT pathway, Wnt-aPKC pathway, Wnt-RYK pathway, Wnt-mTOR pathway, and Wnt/calcium signaling pathway. All these pathways exhibit a considerable degree of overlap between them. The Wnt/Ca(2+) signaling pathway was deciphered as a crucial mediator in development. However, now there is substantial evidence that the signaling cascade is involved in many other molecular phenomena. Many aspects of Wnt/Ca(2+) pathway are yet enigmatic. This review will give a brief overview of the fundamental and evolving concepts of the Wnt/Ca(2+) signaling pathway.read more

TL;DR: This work isolated active Wnt molecules, including the product of the mouse Wnt3a gene, and found the proteins to be palmitoylated on a conserved cysteine, indicating that the lipid is important for signalling.

Transcriptional regulation by calcium, calcineurin, and NFAT
TL;DR: The NFAT family of transcription factors encompasses five proteins evolutionarily related to the Rel/NF B family, and it is clear that NFAT activates transcription of a large number of genes during an effective immune response.
