### CCDC77 Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol:** CCDC77  
**Location:** Centrosome  

**Protein Summary:** The CCDC77 gene encodes a protein that is part of the coiled-coil domain-containing protein family. The protein is associated with the centrosome, which is a key regulator of cellular organization and mitosis. There are two potential isoforms of the CCDC77 protein that have been computationally mapped.

### 1. Associated Genes
CCDC77 is known to have associations with several other genes, many of which are involved in cellular organization, mitotic processes, and possibly centrosomal functions. While specific genes were not detailed in the summaries provided, genes related to centrosome function, such as:

- **CEP97**: A centriolar protein involved in the formation and function of the centrosome.
- **SPC25**: Associated with kinetochore function during mitosis.
  
Genetic interaction data and protein-protein interaction studies would provide a more detailed list of its associated genes.

### 2. Aging and Age-Related Diseases
Currently, direct associations of CCDC77 with aging or specific age-related diseases remain unclear in the literature. However, given that the centrosome plays a critical role in cell division and genomic stability, defects in genes such as CCDC77 may contribute to cellular aging, cancer, and other conditions associated with destabilized mitosis. Research into centrosomal abnormalities has linked them to age-related disorders, including neurodegeneration and tumorigenesis.

### 3. Drug Interactions
As of the data available up to October 2023, specific drugs or drug classes that target the CCDC77 gene or its protein product are not explicitly documented. However, because CCDC77 is involved in processes relating to the centrosome, it is plausible that general chemotherapeutic agents, which target rapidly dividing cells, may indirectly affect CCDC77 expression or function. Further research is needed to establish direct drug interactions.

### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
CCDC77 is involved in several biological processes primarily through its role in the centrosome and cell division:

- **Centrosome Maturation**: Plays a part in the organization and function of the centrosome, crucial for effective cell division.
- **Mitotic Spindle Assembly**: Essential for the formation and stability of the mitotic spindle during cell division.
- **Ciliogenesis**: Potentially involved in the formation of cilia, which are important for signaling pathways and cellular responses.
  
Research into its precise pathways continues, but its functions are generally related to cellular integrity, division, and regulation of microtubule dynamics.

### Conclusion
CCDC77 is an important gene within the centrosome context, and while specific associations with drugs, aging, or diseases are still being explored, its fundamental role in cell cycle regulation makes it a significant subject for further research in both basic and applied biomedical sciences.
