Zinc transporter ZIP1, also known as Solute carrier family 39 member 1 or Zinc-iron-regulated transporter-like or Zrt- and Irt-like protein 1 (ZIP-1 or hZIP1), and encoded by the gene name SLC39A1 or IRT1 or ZIP1 or ZIRTL, is responsible to the rapis uptake and accumulation of physiologically effective zinc in prostate cells. Zinc is an essential ion for cells and plays significant roles in the growth, development, and differentiation. ZIP1 expression is markedly downregulated in a number of cancerous tissues and is thought to function as a tumor suppressor gene in prostate cancer. More recent studies have shown that overexpression of ZIP1 and concomitant increased levels of intracellular zinc in PC-3 cells cause a significant inhibition of NF-κB, leading to downregulation of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, and the apoptosis inhibitor XIAP, reducing the malignant potential of prostate cancer cells in vitro and in vivo.
