### Gene Overview: NCKAP1P1

**Gene Symbol**: NCKAP1P1  
**Chromosomal Location**: Human Chromosome 19  
**Function**: The NCKAP1P1 gene is a pseudogene that is similar to the NCKAP1 gene, which encodes a protein involved in the regulation of actin cytoskeleton dynamics and is part of the WAVE complex, impacting cellular processes such as migration and adhesion. NCKAP1P1 itself does not have protein-coding functionality.

### 1. Associated Genes
While NCKAP1P1 is primarily studied as a pseudogene, it is known to be associated with the following genes (not an exhaustive list):
- **NCKAP1**: This is the functional counterpart, involved in cytoskeletal dynamics and cell signaling.
- **WASF1**: As part of the WAVE complex, associated with actin nucleation and cellular localization processes.
- **WASP**: An actin regulatory protein that plays a role in cellular signaling pathways affecting cytoskeletal structure.

### 2. Aging and Age-related Diseases
As a pseudogene, NCKAP1P1 may not be directly implicated in aging processes or age-related diseases compared to functional genes. However, aberrations in the expression levels or regulation of its related gene NCKAP1 may influence conditions associated with aging, such as cancer metastasis due to altered cellular dynamics and migration. Further studies might reveal indirect associations in specific contexts.

### 3. Drug Interactions
NCKAP1P1, being a pseudogene without a translated protein product, does not directly interact with drugs. However, drugs that target molecular pathways involving its functional counterpart, NCKAP1, might indirectly impact the sphere of biological effects where NCKAP1P1 is considered. Common drug classes affecting cytoskeletal dynamics include:
- **Microtubule inhibitors** (e.g., Paclitaxel)
- **Actin polymerization inhibitors** (e.g., Cytochalasins)

### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
Though NCKAP1P1 lacks a functional coding sequence, related pathways through its associated protein NCKAP1 may involve:
- **Actin Cytoskeleton Remodeling**: Crucial for cell motility, shape, and intracellular transport.
- **Cell Adhesion and Migration**: As part of cellular signaling pathways that regulate how cells adhere to and move across surfaces, impacting wound healing and immune response.
- **Signal Transduction**: Involved in relaying signals that lead to changes in cell behavior responding to external stimuli.

In summary, NCKAP1P1 serves as a non-functional pseudogene accompanying critical gene functions related to cytoskeletal dynamics and cell signaling but does not manifest direct interactions with drugs or explicit roles in aging or disease mechanisms as a standalone gene. Further investigations surrounding NCKAP1 may provide insights into any contextual relevance of NCKAP1P1 in various biological phenomena.
