AR and posterior cortical atrophy: Additionally, among the upstream regulators of ZIP1 (RREB-1 and microRNA-183-96-182), the proteins modulating key zinc signaling pathways (NF-κB, PI3K and MAPK), and ZF-containing TFs (AR, PLZF and SP1), many of them have been evaluated as or determined to be potential assistant biomarkers for PCa diagnosis.
