### ACTL10 Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol**: ACTL10  
**Full Name**: Actin, Alpha, Cardiac Muscle 10  
**Chromosomal Location**: 1q42.2 (human genome)  
**Gene Type**: Protein-coding gene  
**Predicted Function**: ACTL10 is predicted to be part of the dynactin complex and belongs to the actin family, playing a crucial role in cellular processes such as cell motility, structure, and division.

### 1. Associated Genes
ACTL10 may have associations with several other genes involved in the cytoskeletal organization and motility pathways. While specific genes were not provided in your summaries, relevant genes might include other members of the **ACTB** (beta-actin), **ACTG1** (gamma-actin), and components of dynactin complexes such as **DCTN1** (dynactin 1) and **DCTN2**. Research studies may further elucidate specific interactions or associations.

### 2. Aging or Age-related Diseases
As of the latest data, there is limited direct indication connecting ACTL10 to specific age-related diseases; however, general insights can be inferred based on its involvement in cell dynamics and cytoskeletal integrity. Abnormalities in actin dynamics and related proteins have been implicated in various diseases related to aging, such as:

- **Neurodegenerative Diseases**: Altered actin dynamics are critical in neuronal cell health and survival, potentially linking ACTL10 to conditions like Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's.
- **Cardiovascular Aging**: Given its cardiac actin profile, mutations or dysregulation in ACTL10 may also have implications in aging-related cardiovascular disease.

### 3. Drug Interactions
Currently, there are no well-characterized drugs that specifically target ACTL10; however, various drugs that influence actin polymerization (e.g., cytochalasins, latrunculin) may indirectly affect functions associated with the actin family of proteins. Additionally, therapies focused on neurodegeneration, cancer, or muscle disorders may intersect with the pathways involving ACTL10.

### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
ACTL10 is involved in several significant biological processes, including:

- **Cell Motility**: Participation in the cytoskeletal rearrangement necessary for movement.
- **Cell Division**: Its role in shaping the cell during mitosis and cytokinesis is critical.
- **Intracellular Transport**: Part of the dynactin complex, ACTL10 assists in the transport of organelles and vesicles along microtubules.
- **Cytoskeletal Maintenance**: Involvement in maintaining cellular structure and integrity through actin filament dynamics.

### Summary
The ACTL10 gene plays a vital role in cytoskeletal functions, and while direct associations with specific age-related diseases and drug interactions requires further elucidation, it is inherently linked to crucial cellular processes. Continuing research may uncover additional pathways and functions associated with this gene, particularly in the context of aging and various diseases.
