### Overview of the MIR4264 Gene

**Gene Symbol:** MIR4264  
**Description:** MIR4264 is a microRNA (miRNA) gene involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. MicroRNAs are short non-coding RNA sequences that play crucial roles in various biological processes by modulating the stability and translation of their target messenger RNAs (mRNAs).

### Key Functions:
- **Transcription and Processing:**
  - Transcribed by RNA polymerase II as a part of primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs).
  - Processed by Drosha into a pre-miRNA and then by Dicer to produce the mature miRNA.
  
- **Mechanism of Action:**
  - Functions within RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISC) to regulate target mRNAs through base pairing, typically leading to translational inhibition or degradation.

### Additional Information:

1. **Associated Genes:**
   - While specific target genes of MIR4264 are not mentioned in the summaries, miRNAs often regulate multiple target genes. It is recommended to perform a target prediction analysis or functional enrichment analysis with datasets to identify specific genes associated with MIR4264.

2. **Aging and Age-related Diseases:**
   - Research suggests that certain microRNAs can play a role in aging processes and age-related diseases (like neurodegeneration, cancer, etc.). However, specific studies focusing on MIR4264 and its direct involvement in these conditions are limited or absent as of the latest data. Further studies might elucidate its role in cellular aging or in response to systemic changes associated with aging.

3. **Drug Interactions:**
   - Currently, there is no direct information available regarding specific drugs or drug classes that interact with the MIR4264 gene; however, miRNAs can indirectly influence drug responses by regulating the expression of target genes involved in drug metabolism and action. It would be beneficial to investigate pharmacogenomic databases to find any relevant associations.

4. **Pathways and Biological Processes:**
   - MIR4264 is involved in multiple biological processes, including:
     - Regulation of gene expression
     - Modulation of developmental processes
     - Stress response
     - Regulation of cellular proliferation and differentiation

   Specific pathways often involve complex interactions with other signaling pathways (like the TGF-beta pathway, Wnt signaling, etc.) due to the regulatory nature of miRNAs. Research investigations using pathway enrichment analysis tools could provide deeper insights into the specific pathways where MIR4264 is active.

### Conclusion
MIR4264 is a microRNA with essential roles in controlling gene expression through post-transcriptional mechanisms. Its functions are implicated in various biological processes, yet its specific interactions with aging, drug responses, and associations with other genes require further detailed investigation to uncover the full scope of its regulatory activities in human health and disease.
