### ARHGAP35 Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol**: ARHGAP35  
**Location**: Human Chromosome 22q12.1  
**Function**: The ARHGAP35 gene encodes a Rho GTPase-activating protein involved in various cellular mechanisms, including signal transduction, cell adhesion, differentiation, and migration. It plays a significant role in regulating Rho family GTPases' activity, thereby influencing cytoskeletal organization, neurite outgrowth, and cellular morphogenesis processes.

### 1. Associated Genes

While the summaries provide insight into ARHGAP35's interactions with the glucocorticoid receptor (hGR) and various signaling pathways, other genes that might be associated with ARHGAP35, though not mentioned explicitly, include:

- **RHOA**: A member of the Rho family of GTPases that might interact with ARHGAP35 in regulating signaling pathways.
- **RAC1**: A target of GAP proteins, involving processes such as actin organization and cell migration, may share pathways with ARHGAP35.
- **PRKCA (Protein Kinase C alpha)**: Involved in phosphorylation that affects ARHGAP35's binding activities to various phospholipids.

### 2. Aging and Age-Related Diseases

While specific studies focusing on ARHGAP35 in aging and age-related diseases may be limited, its involvement in key biological processes suggests potential implications:

- **Neurodegeneration**: Given its role in neurite outgrowth and cell signaling, dysregulation of ARHGAP35 may impact neuronal health, potentially linking it to neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.
- **Cancer**: Impairments in cellular adhesion and migration regulated by ARHGAP35 can contribute to tumor progression and metastasis.
- **Developmental Disorders**: ARHGAP35's role in processes such as neural tube development implicates it in congenital anomalies that may arise with aging factors influencing development.

### 3. Drug Interactions

Currently, there are no specific drugs or drug classes that directly interact with the ARHGAP35 gene documented extensively in the literature. However, its function may indirectly affect responses to:

- **Glucocorticoids**: As a regulator of the glucocorticoid receptor, ARHGAP35 may influence cellular responses to this class of drugs, which are widely used in inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.

### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes

ARHGAP35 is involved in several critical pathways and biological processes including:

- **Cell Signal Transduction**: Transducing signals from various receptors, including those stimulated by adhesion molecules.
- **Cytoskeletal Organization**: Modulating Rho GTPase-dependent F-actin polymerization and organization, which is essential for cell shape and movement.
- **Cell Migration and Adhesion**: Involved in polarized migration of cells important in tissue development.
- **Developmental Processes**: Key roles in retinal tissue morphogenesis, neural tube fusion, mammary gland branching morphogenesis, and other developmental pathways.
- **Ciliogenesis**: Regulation of cilia elongation and function, important in various cellular processes.

### Conclusion

The ARHGAP35 gene plays a multifaceted role in cellular signaling, morphology, and response to glucocorticoids, which may influence various developmental processes and implications in age-related disorders. Further research is needed to clarify its connections with aging and specific therapeutic targets.
