### RNU7-87P Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol:** RNU7-87P  
**Type:** Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)  
**Location:** Located on the chromosome 7  
**Function:** RNU7-87P is believed to encode a small nucleolar RNA with potential roles in the processing of rRNA, though detailed functional studies are still needed to elucidate its specific contributions.

### 1. Associated Genes
RNU7-87P is known to be part of a family of small nucleolar RNAs and may share functional pathways with:
- **RNU7-1**: Another small nucleolar RNA involved in rRNA processing.
- **RNU7-2**: Similar functions in rRNA modification.
- Other snoRNA genes, particularly those that may be involved in ribosomal RNA methylation.

### 2. Aging and Age-Related Diseases
Current research regarding RNU7-87P itself directly associated with aging or age-related diseases remains sparse. However, it may participate in cellular processes that are impacted during aging, such as ribosome biogenesis and protein synthesis, both of which are crucial for maintaining cellular function in senescence. 

Some indirect associations could be inferred through its related small nucleolar RNAs and their roles in post-transcriptional modifications of rRNA.

### 3. Drug Interactions
There currently are no direct drug interactions specifically mentioned for RNU7-87P in available databases. However, since it is involved in rRNA processing, drugs targeting the ribosome, such as:
- **Antibiotics** (e.g., macrolides, aminoglycosides) that inhibit bacterial protein synthesis, may indirectly affect the pathways and processes RNU7-87P is associated with.

No specific drug classes targeting this lncRNA are noted, suggesting that further research is necessary to establish any potential pharmacological relevance.

### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
RNU7-87P is involved in various biological processes including:
- **Ribosome Biogenesis:** It participates in the maturation and processing of rRNA, which is a critical component of ribosomes.
- **Gene Silencing**: Potentially via interactions in RNA processing pathways, which may include the RNA interference (RNAi) machinery.

Additionally, the involvement in broader cellular pathways such as cellular stress responses and translational regulation may be implied, given the importance of ribosomal RNA in protein synthesis.

### Summary
The RNU7-87P gene is a long non-coding RNA that is mainly associated with the maturation and processing of ribosomal RNA. Its direct role in aging and associated diseases, drug interactions, and specific molecular pathways are areas that require further investigation, as existing information is limited. Integrative studies on its family members and their functions may help in further elucidating the roles of RNU7-87P in cellular biogenesis and other processes.
