Signaling pathways that rely on the controlled release and/or accumulation of calcium ions are important in a variety of developmental events in the vertebrate embryo, affecting cell fate specification and morphogenesis. One such major developmentally important pathway is the Wnt/calcium signaling pathway, which, through its antagonism of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, appears to regulate the formation of the early embryonic organizer. In addition, the Wnt/calcium pathway shares components with another non-canonical Wnt pathway involved in planar cell polarity, suggesting that these two pathways form a loose network involved in polarized cell migratory movements that fashion the vertebrate body plan. Furthermore, left-right axis determination, neural induction and somite formation also display dynamic calcium release, which may be critical in these patterning events. Finally, we summarize recent evidence that propose a role for calcium signaling in stem cell biology and human developmental disorders. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
