**PSKH2 Gene Overview**

The PSKH2 gene (Pseudokinase 2) is a member of the pseudokinase family and is primarily characterized by its predicted functions related to ATP binding and protein phosphorylation, specifically serine and threonine residues. The presence of Asn-183 instead of the conserved Asp at its active site may suggest a divergence from typical kinase activity, which could influence its functional roles.

### 1. Associated Genes
While the summaries provided do not mention specific associated genes, PSKH2 has been studied in the context of other genes involved in signaling pathways and cancer biology. Potentially related genes may include those that encode serine/threonine kinases, phosphatases, or proteins involved in cell signaling.

**Example of associated genes**:
- **AKT1** (protein kinase B): Often studied in relation to signaling cascades in which pseudokinases may play regulatory roles.
- **MEK1/2**: As part of the MAPK signaling pathway, this could be relevant when considering PSKH2's impact on cell signaling.

### 2. Aging and Age-Related Diseases
Research into PSKH2 and its potential roles in aging and age-related diseases is less well-established. However, some insights into serine and threonine kinases imply that PKSH2 might be involved in processes like cellular senescence, apoptosis, and inflammation, which are critical in the aging process and various age-associated diseases, such as:
- **Cancer**: Dysregulation in kinase signaling can lead to oncogenesis, and pseudokinases might contribute to tumor microenvironment interactions.
- **Neurodegenerative diseases**: Altered kinase activity is often examined in the context of diseases like Alzheimer's.

### 3. Drug Interactions
As of the last update, specific drugs directly targeting PSKH2 have not been widely characterized. However, drug classes that might interact indirectly with the PSKH2 gene through pathways involving serine/threonine kinases include:
- **Kinase inhibitors**: This class includes various tyrosine kinase inhibitors and dual kinase inhibitors, which may cross-regulate downstream signaling environments involving PSKH2.
- **Anticancer agents**: Many compounds that manipulate kinase activity may affect cellular pathways that incorporate PSKH2's function.

### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
PSKH2 is predicted to be involved in several biological processes, including:
- **Signal transduction**: Participating in pathways that mediate cellular response to extracellular stimuli.
- **Protein phosphorylation**: As a kinase, it likely plays a role in modifying target proteins, thus regulating myriad cellular processes.
- **Cell proliferation and survival**: Implicit in pathways that modulate growth and apoptosis, notable in cancer and development biology.

**Important Pathways**:
- **MAPK signaling pathway**: Likely involvement given the association with other kinases and cellular signaling.
- **PI3K-Akt signaling pathway**: Since PSKH2 is indirectly associated with signaling components governing cell survival and metabolism.
- **Wnt signaling pathway**: Potential involvement due to interactions with pathways related to cell fate determination and development.

### Summary
While PSKH2 is primarily recognized for its roles in phosphorylation and signaling transduction, its actual functions and implications in various biological processes, particularly regarding aging and disease, remain actively researched areas. Further studies are needed to clarify its exact role, interactions with medications, and pathways involved in health and disease contexts.
