    GlossaryNon-canonical Wnt Pathway (Wnt/PCP pathway)

    regulates cell movement and organization without using β-catenin

    The Non-canonical Wnt Pathway is a signaling pathway that operates independently of the β-catenin protein, which is central to the canonical Wnt pathway. This pathway is involved in regulating various cellular processes such as cell movement and organization, and it includes sub-pathways like the Wnt/PCP (Planar Cell Polarity) pathway and the Wnt/Ca2+ pathway. These pathways play crucial roles in embryonic development, tissue regeneration, and diseases, including certain types of alopecia.
