### ACTBP1 Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol:** ACTBP1  
**Gene Name:** Actin Binding Protein 1  

#### 1. Associated Genes
While the NCBI and UniProt summaries provide core information regarding ACTBP1, additional genes that are functionally associated with ACTBP1 include:
- **ACTB** (Beta-actin): This is one of the actin family members that also plays a crucial role in cellular processes.
- **GAPDH**: Associated with metabolic processes, it can be involved in pathways related to cellular stress responses.
- **MYO1A** (Myosin IA): Interacts with actin filaments and contributes to cellular motility and structure.

#### 2. Aging and Age-Related Disease Associations
ACTBP1, due to its role in cytoskeletal dynamics and cellular structure, may be implicated in processes related to aging:
- **Cell Senescence**: Dysregulation of actin remodeling by ACTBP1 can affect cellular aging and senescence, potentially contributing to age-related decline in tissue function.
- **Neurodegenerative Diseases**: Changes in the cytoskeletal composition, including actin-binding proteins, have been observed in conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Alterations in ACTBP1 expression may be involved in neurodegenerative pathways.
- **Muscle Degeneration**: Given its association with muscle function through actin, ACTBP1 may play a role in conditions like sarcopenia, where muscle mass and function decline with age.

#### 3. Drug Interactions
While specific drug interactions with ACTBP1 are not extensively characterized, the following drug classes may have indirect interactions based on pathways involving cytoskeletal dynamics:
- **Antineoplastic Agents**: Some chemotherapeutic agents (e.g., taxanes) affect the cytoskeleton, impacting proper cellular division and could exhibit effects on ACTBP1 indirectly.
- **Muscle Relaxants**: Drugs that affect muscle function might influence pathways involving actin binding proteins like ACTBP1.

#### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
ACTBP1 is involved in several key biological pathways:
- **Cytoskeleton Remodeling**: Central in mediating actin filament dynamics, critical for various cellular processes including motility, shape maintenance, and division.
- **Signal Transduction**: Participation in pathways involving growth factor signaling and cellular responses to the environment.
- **Cell Cycle Regulation**: Involvement in processes that govern cell division may associate ACTBP1 with cancer pathways through its role in maintaining proper cellular architecture.
- **Muscle Development and Function**: As an actin-binding protein, ACTBP1 contributes to muscle fiber formation and contractility.

In summary, ACTBP1 is a crucial gene involved in actin dynamics and cellular structure maintenance. Its role in aging, drug interactions, and participation in biological pathways underscores its importance in health and disease.
