### CAPZBP1 Gene Overview

The **CAPZBP1** gene encodes a member of the barbed-end-capping protein family, which is involved in the regulation of actin filament dynamics. The protein is known to play a significant role in cellular processes that require actin polymerization, including cell motility, morphology, and muscle contraction.

### 1. Associated Genes
While specific genes directly associated with CAPZBP1 may not be extensively documented in general summaries, it's functionally related to various actin-binding proteins and regulatory networks, which might include:

- **ACTN1** (alpha-actinin 1)
- **PFN1** (profilin 1)
- **GAS7** (growth arrest specific 7)
- **VCL** (vinculin)
- **THYMOSIN BETA** (TB)

These associations typically arise due to their shared roles in cytoskeletal organization and cell signaling pathways.

### 2. Age-Related Details
Currently, there is limited direct research specifically linking CAPZBP1 to aging or age-related diseases. However, given its role in actin dynamics, it is conceivable that dysregulation of CAPZBP1 might be related to processes such as:

- **Cellular senescence**: Actin cytoskeletal changes often occur during cellular aging.
- **Muscle degeneration**: Alterations in actin filaments can be related to conditions such as sarcopenia in aging adults. Furthermore, research may suggest connections between cytoskeletal integrity and the decline of muscle function with age.

### 3. Known Drug Interactions
As of September 2023, there are no specific drugs or drug classes explicitly documented to interact with CAPZBP1. However, it is important to note that since CAPZBP1 is involved with actin, compounds that affect actin dynamics (e.g., Cytochalasins, Latrunculin) might indirectly influence CAPZBP1 activity. Translational studies could uncover more potential therapeutic targets.

### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
CAPZBP1 is involved in several key biological processes and pathways:

- **Actin filament capping**: Plays a critical role in controlling actin filament growth and turnover.
- **Cell migration and motility**: Involvement in processes that rely on actin dynamics, such as migration in response to growth factors.
- **Muscle contraction**: Implicated in the function and stability of muscle-related actin structures.
- **Cell signaling**: Participates in pathways related to cellular responses to stimuli.

In conclusion, while further studies are needed to fully elucidate the role of CAPZBP1 in aging and pharmacological interactions, its primary functions in cytoskeletal regulation are crucial for various cellular processes and may have implications in various pathologies associated with actin dynamics.
