### RPL37P24 Gene Summary

**Gene Symbol**: RPL37P24  
**Alternate Names**: RP-L37P24, RPL37 pseudogene 24  

RPL37P24 is a pseudogene that is part of the ribosomal protein gene family. It is located on chromosome 1 and encodes a protein component of the ribosome, which is essential for protein synthesis. Pseudogenes such as RPL37P24 are typically non-functional remnants of protein-coding genes, sharing sequence similarity with their functional counterparts.

### 1. Associated Genes
While the summaries from NCBI and UniProt may not list every related gene, RPL37P24 may exhibit associations and homology with other ribosomal protein genes, particularly those nearby on chromosome 1 or within the same family, such as:
- RPL37
- RPL36
- RPL36A
- RPL36B

### 2. Aging or Age-Related Disease Associations
As a pseudogene, RPL37P24 may not have direct studies linking it to aging or age-related diseases. However, ribosomal biology, where ribosomal protein genes generally are involved, has been associated with aging processes and age-related diseases like cancer and certain neurodegenerative disorders. Pseudogenes can also have regulatory roles, impacting the expression of their functional counterparts or other genes that are involved in the aging processes.

### 3. Drug Interactions
Currently, specific drug interactions with RPL37P24 are not well-documented, particularly given its classification as a pseudogene. However, drugs that target ribosomal biogenesis or global protein synthesis could theoretically influence pathways involving ribosomal proteins, though these would be non-specific to RPL37P24 itself. As a general principle, numerous chemotherapeutic agents that target the ribosome (such as certain antibiotics) may have indirect effects on the expression levels of ribosomal proteins, but detailed studies on typical interactions with RPL37P24 remain sparse.

### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
RPL37P24, being a part of the ribosomal protein family, is implicated in the following biological processes:
- **Protein Synthesis**: As a component of the ribosomal machinery, it plays a role in the translation of mRNA into polypeptides.
- **Ribosome Biogenesis**: It contributes to the assembly of ribonucleoprotein complexes that form ribosomes.
- **Cell Growth and Proliferation**: Regulation of ribosomal proteins is critical for cell cycle progression and growth.

While RPL37P24 itself may not be actively involved in signaling pathways, the overall family of ribosomal proteins including this pseudogene can affect pathways related to cellular growth, stress responses, and metabolic regulation.

### Summary
In summary, the RPL37P24 gene represents a ribosomal protein pseudogene with potential indirect implications in aging and drug interactions related to broader ribosomal functions rather than direct effects. Further research may explore its regulatory roles within the genome.
