Wnt signal transduction pathways classify into:

1. Canonical wnt pathway (β-catenin dependent)

2. Noncanonical wnt pathways (β-catenin independent)

d-mannose and d-talose are epimers and d-glucose and d-mannose are epimers, whereas d-glucose and d-talose are not epimers but merely diastereomers

Isomers of monosaccharides that differ only in their configuration about that asymmetric carbon atom are called anomers, designated as a or b,
