### CAPN10-DT Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol**: CAPN10-DT

**Gene Function**: The CAPN10-DT gene is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) located in the vicinity of the CAPN10 gene, which encodes the calpain-10 protein. Calpain-10 is implicated in various cellular processes, including insulin signaling and the modulation of metabolic functions.

### 1. Associated Genes
While the summaries from NCBI and UniProt may not list other associated genes, the following genes are known to be associated or co-regulated with CAPN10, particularly in studies related to metabolic functions and diabetes:

- **CAPN10**: The primary gene related to CAPN10-DT, influencing similar pathways.
- **INS**: Insulin gene, involved in glucose metabolism, which might be functionally linked with the activity of CAPN10.
- **IGF1**: Insulin-like growth factor 1, associated with metabolic processes and growth regulation.

### 2. Aging or Age-Related Diseases
The CAPN10-DT gene may play a role in metabolic disorders, which are common in older populations. Studies have linked variations in the CAPN10 gene with type 2 diabetes, a condition that often arises with aging. While no direct studies specifically tying CAPN10-DT to aging have been established, its involvement in metabolic pathways suggests a potential relevance. Dysregulation of lncRNAs like CAPN10-DT can also affect cellular aging processes and stress responses, but further research would be needed to clarify these implications.

### 3. Known Drug Interactions
Currently, CAPN10-DT does not have specific drugs or drug classes directly associated with it in available databases. However, drugs that regulate blood glucose levels, such as metformin or thiazolidinediones, could interact indirectly through their influence on pathways involving the CAPN10 gene and related metabolic processes.

### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
CAPN10-DT is involved in several biological processes and pathways:

- **Insulin Signaling Pathway**: The CAPN10 gene's association with insulin signaling indicates that CAPN10-DT may also play a role in this pathway.
- **Regulation of Gene Expression**: As a long non-coding RNA, CAPN10-DT may regulate the expression of nearby or functionally related genes.
- **Cellular Stress Responses**: Given the role of calpains in cellular stress responses, CAPN10-DT may be involved in pathways related to response to oxidative stress or nutrient sensing.

### Conclusion
The CAPN10-DT gene is a long non-coding RNA associated with metabolic processes and may influence insulin signaling via the nearby CAPN10 gene. Although direct associations with aging or specific drugs are limited, its connections in metabolic pathways suggest clinical relevance, particularly in the study of age-related diseases like type 2 diabetes. Further characterization of its functions and interactions will be essential for understanding its role in health and disease.
