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. (2)
