GO:0060831 smoothened signaling pathway involved in dorsal/ventral neural tube patterning The series of molecular signals generated as a consequence of activation of the transmembrane protein Smoothened contributing to the dorsal/ventral pattern of the neural tube. 1
GO:0060783 mesenchymal smoothened signaling pathway involved in prostate gland development The series of molecular signals generated as a consequence of activation of the transmembrane Smoothened-type protein in the mesenchymal cells of the prostate that contribute to the progression of the prostate over time. This process contributes to lung development. 1
GO:0071927 octopamine signaling pathway The series of molecular signals generated as a consequence of octopamine binding to a cell surface receptor. 1
GO:0007211 octopamine or tyramine signaling pathway The series of molecular signals generated as a consequence of octopamine or tyramine binding to a cell surface receptor. Octopamine and tyramine are decarboxylation products of tyrosine, and are the invertebrate counterparts of the vertebrate adrenergic transmitters. 1
GO:0070493 thrombin receptor signaling pathway The series of molecular signals generated as a consequence of a thrombin receptor binding to one of its physiological ligands. 1
GO:0036323 vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 signaling pathway Any series of molecular signals initiated by the binding of an extracellular ligand to a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 (VEGFR-1) located on the surface of the receiving cell, and ending with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription. 1
