How prime numbers are related to special functions?

We know that the Riemann zeta function is defined as

$$\zeta(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{n^s},$$

for all $\Re(s)>1$.

Because of Euler product formula we also know that

$$\zeta(s) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{n^s} = \prod_{p \text{ prime}} \frac{1}{1-p^{-s}},$$ for all $\Re(s)>1.$

There are a lot of functions related to Riemann zeta function. For example

Question. Are there Euler product formula type statements to other special functions?
