### ZFAND6 Gene Overview

#### Gene Summary
- **Gene Symbol:** ZFAND6
- **Function:** The ZFAND6 gene encodes a protein that is involved in several cellular processes, including the regulation of TNF-alpha induced NF-kappa-B activation and apoptosis. It has a predicted role in polyubiquitin modification-dependent protein binding and is involved in the modulation of 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitination status of TRAF2, impacting its association with RIPK1. Additionally, ZFAND6 is necessary for peroxisomal import of proteins containing a PTS1 target sequence and may contribute to the stability of PEX5, likely cooperating with PEX6.

### 1. Associated Genes
Though not extensively detailed in the summary, ZFAND6 is indirectly associated with several other genes, particularly those involved in the TNF signaling pathway, NF-kappaB signaling, and peroxisomal biogenesis. Some key associated genes might include:
- **TRAF2** (TNF receptor-associated factor 2)
- **RIPK1** (Receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1)
- **PEX5** (Peroxisomal biogenesis factor 5)
- **PEX6** (Peroxisomal biogenesis factor 6)

ZNFAND6 may also relate to other genes implicated in cellular stress responses and ubiquitination pathways.

### 2. Aging and Age-Related Diseases
Currently, there is no directly substantiated evidence linking ZFAND6 to aging or specific age-related diseases in the literature. However, given its involvement in regulating apoptosis and inflammation (through NF-kappaB signaling), dysregulation of ZFAND6 could potentially contribute to age-related conditions such as chronic inflammation, cancer, or neurodegenerative diseases. Further research may illuminate specific roles in these contexts.

### 3. Drug/Drug Classes Interaction
As of the latest data available, there are no well-defined drugs or drug classes that are specifically known to interact with ZFAND6 directly. However, compounds targeting the NF-kappaB signaling pathway or those that affect ubiquitination processes may indirectly affect ZFAND6-related functions or interactions.

### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
ZFAND6 is involved in several significant biological pathways and processes:
- **TNF signaling pathway:** Modulating the TNF-alpha induced NF-kappaB activation.
- **Apoptosis:** Contributing to the negative regulation of apoptosis.
- **NF-kappaB signaling pathway:** Influencing the activation and regulation of NF-kappaB.
- **Ubiquitin-proteasome pathway:** Involvement in polyubiquitination dynamics, particularly affecting TRAF2.
- **Peroxisomal biogenesis:** Facilitating protein import into peroxisomes and maintaining PEX5 stability.

These pathways highlight the critical role of ZFAND6 in cellular stress responses, apoptosis, and overall cell signaling.
