title: Cell signaling: moving to a Wnt-Rap.
abstract: Non-canonical, beta-catenin-independent Wnt signaling regulates cell polarization and movements. A recent study reveals that casein kinase Iepsilon mediates an additional novel non-canonical Wnt pathway via the activation of the Rap1 GTPase during vertebrate gastrulation.
