Most of the studies that have assessed the role of PPAT in the prostate were done in prostate cancer cell lines or in primary cell cultures from patients diagnosed with prostate cancer or in tissues from patients with prostate cancer (Finley et al., 2009; Ribeiro et al., 2012; Nassar et al., 2018; Romingué et al., 2022). The gene discussed is PPAT; the disease is prostate carcinoma.
