### EHBP1L1 Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol:** EHBP1L1  
**Location:** Encodes a protein that is primarily associated with the organization of the actin cytoskeleton and vesicle trafficking through interactions with Rab GTPases.

### 1. Associated Genes

The EHBP1L1 gene may be associated with other genes related to vesicular transport and cytoskeletal dynamics. Although not all associated genes are explicitly mentioned in the summaries provided, some genes that share pathways or biological roles include:

- **RAB proteins:** A family of GTPases involved in controlling the transport of vesicles.
- **EHBP1:** A closely related gene that also plays a role in actin dynamics and vesicle transport.
- **ACTB (Beta-actin):** A core component of the actin cytoskeleton, involved in various cellular functions.
- **CLTC (Clathrin Heavy Chain):** Important in endocytosis, interacts with components of vesicle trafficking.

### 2. Aging or Age-Related Diseases

Research on the specific role of the EHBP1L1 gene in the context of aging or age-related diseases is limited. However, genes involved in cytoskeletal organization and vesicle trafficking often play a role in cellular processes such as:

- **Neurodegeneration:** Impaired vesicle trafficking is implicated in neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease.
- **Cellular senescence:** Alterations in cytoskeletal organization can affect cell division and function in aged cells.

While there may not be direct studies linking EHBP1L1 to age-related conditions specifically, the mechanisms in which it operates may have indirect implications for age-related cellular decline.

### 3. Drug Interactions

As of the latest information available (October 2023), there are no specific drugs or drug classes known to interact directly with the EHBP1L1 gene product. However, drugs targeting pathways involved in cytoskeletal dynamics or vesicle trafficking may indirectly influence the functions associated with EHBP1L1.

### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes

EHBP1L1 is involved in several biological processes, including but not limited to:

- **Actin Cytoskeleton Organization:** It plays a role in the proper formation and functioning of the actin filament network within the cell.
- **Vesicle Trafficking:** Serves as an effector for Rab GTPases, facilitating the transport and trafficking of vesicles.
- **Endocytosis:** May participate in pathways related to the internalization of materials into the cell.
- **Neuronal Function:** Implicated in processes essential for the functioning of neuronal cells and possibly synaptic vesicle transport.

In conclusion, the EHBP1L1 gene encodes a protein with roles in actin organization and vesicle trafficking, potentially influencing diseases related to cellular transport dynamics. Further exploration of its functions could unveil connections to aging and therapeutic targets.
