Name:	dorsal fin lepidotrichium
Synonyms:	dorsal fin lepidotrichia, dorsal fin ray
Definition:	Lepidotrichium which is part of the dorsal fin. Bony, bilaterally paired segmented dermal ossification extending distally from the endoskeletal supports. They develop around actinotrichia as part of the dermal exoskeleton.
Ontology:	Anatomy Ontology [ZFA:0001418]

Name:	canonical Wnt signaling pathway
Synonyms:	canonical Wnt receptor signaling pathway, canonical Wnt-activated signaling pathway, frizzled-1 receptor signaling pathway, Wnt receptor signaling pathway through beta-catenin, Wnt receptor signaling pathway via beta-catenin, Wnt receptor signalling pathway through beta-catenin
Definition:	A type of Wnt signaling pathway in which Wnt binding to its receptor on the surface of a target cell results in the by propagation of the molecular signals via beta-catenin, and end with a change in transcription of target genes. In this pathway, the activated receptor signals via downstream effectors that result in the inhibition of beta-catenin phosphorylation, thereby preventing degradation of beta-catenin. Stabilized beta-catenin can then accumulate and travel to the nucleus to trigger changes in transcription of target genes.
