A series of molecular signals in which a cell uses calcium ions to convert an extracellular signal into a response. A series of molecular signals in which a cell uses a phosphoinositide to convert an extracellular signal into a response. A series of molecular signals in which an ion or small molecule is formed or released into the cytosol, thereby helping relay the signal within the cell. A series of molecular signals in which a cell uses a water-soluble inositol phosphate to convert an extracellular signal into a response. A series of molecular signals that results in activation of transcription by a member of the NFAT protein family as a consequence of NFAT dephosphorylation by activated calcineurin. The signaling is generated by a receptor binding a ligand, followed by activation of phospholipase C and the subsequent release of inositol trisphosphate, which in turn leads to an increase in intracellular calcium ion concentration that mediates the activation of calcineurin. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of signaling via the calcineurin-NFAT signaling pathway. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of signaling via the calcineurin-NFAT signaling pathway. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of signaling via the calcineurin-NFAT signaling pathway.
