### ENO1P3 Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol:** ENO1P3  
**Alternative Names:** Endonuclease 1 pseudogene 3  

The ENO1P3 gene is classified as a pseudogene related to the ENO1 gene, which encodes the enzyme alpha-enolase. While pseudogenes are typically non-functional remnants of evolutionary processes, they can sometimes have regulatory roles or contribute to non-coding RNAs.

### 1. Associated Genes
While the ENO1P3 gene itself may not have direct associations noted in standard resources like NCBI or UniProt, it is often beneficial to consider its proximity and relationship to its parent gene, ENO1, and other related genes in metabolic pathways—which include:

- **ENO1** (Enolase 1): A functional homolog involved in glycolysis.
- **ENO2** (Enolase 2): Related functional enolase associated with neuronal functions.
- **GAPDH** (Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase): Another glycolytic enzyme, highly conserved and associated with glucose metabolism.

### 2. Aging and Age-Related Diseases
The association of ENO1P3 with aging or age-related diseases is more conjectural since it is a pseudogene. However, ENO1 and its functional implications in energy metabolism have been studied in relation to conditions like diabetes and other metabolic syndromes, particularly as energy metabolism plays a crucial role in aging processes. Abnormal enzymatic activity and metabolic dysfunction related to ENO1 may have secondary implications for age-related diseases, but specific studies mapping ENO1P3 to these effects remain limited.

### 3. Drug Interactions
As of the current data update, specific details on drugs or drug classes that interact directly with the ENO1P3 pseudogene are not well documented. Pseudogenes typically do not have direct drug interactions, but research into ENO1 may bring forward knowledge about potential implicational pathways involving energy metabolism that could be targeted by metabolic modulators (e.g., glycolysis inhibitors, metabolic enhancers).

### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
Currently, the ENO1P3 gene is not directly associated with specific biological pathways due to its pseudogene status. However, associated pathways may include general metabolic pathways influenced by the homologous gene, ENO1:

- **Glycolysis/Gluconeogenesis:** ENO1 is involved in the glycolytic pathway, vital for energy production in cells.
- **Regulation of metabolic processes:** The pseudogene could potentially influence regulatory networks related to glucose metabolism.
- **Neurotransmitter release pathways:** Given the relation of ENO1 to neural functions through ENO2.

### Conclusion
In conclusion, while ENO1P3 itself is a pseudogene with limited direct functional characterization, it relates to important metabolic processes through its parent gene, ENO1. The study of pseudogenes like ENO1P3 is an evolving field, and ongoing research may uncover emerging roles in regulatory functions and implications for disease. Further in-depth studies are needed to establish its exact contributions within the genomic landscape.
