### LINC00836 Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol**: LINC00836

LINC00836 is a long intergenic non-protein coding RNA (lncRNA) gene located on chromosome 1. As an lncRNA, LINC00836 is involved in various regulatory processes in the cell, including chromatin remodeling, transcriptional regulation, and interactions with protein complexes.

#### 1. Associated Genes
While specific genes directly associated with LINC00836 may not have been extensively documented in the summaries, lncRNAs typically interact with multiple genes and may be co-expressed with certain protein-coding genes. Reported research may link LINC00836 with:

- **PTEN**: LINC00836 has been implicated in cellular pathways that can affect tumor suppressor genes.
- **TP53**: Dysregulation of lncRNAs like LINC00836 is often observed in contexts related to p53-mediated stress responses.

Further experimental investigations may reveal additional associations with oncogenes or tumor suppressors within various cellular contexts.

#### 2. Aging and Age-related Diseases
Research into aging-related roles of LINC00836 is still emerging. However, certain lncRNAs are known to play roles in:

- **Cellular Senescence**: Some studies suggest lncRNAs can influence the aging process by modulating pathways linked to cellular senescence.
- **Cancer**: As age is a significant risk factor for many cancers, the role of LINC00836 in cancer biology may indirectly connect it to age-related changes.

Ongoing studies into LINC00836 could further reveal its role in specific aging mechanisms or diseases commonly associated with aging, such as neurodegenerative disorders.

#### 3. Drug Interactions
Currently, there are no specific drugs or drug classes directly known to interact with LINC00836. However, the potential for therapeutic interventions to modulate lncRNA expression (for instance, using small molecules or RNA-based therapies) is an area of active research. As findings on the functional role of LINC00836 evolve, it may become important in drug development contexts.

#### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
LINC00836 is involved in various biological processes. While specific pathways may not be directly listed in the current databases, lncRNAs generally participate in:

- **Gene Regulation**: LINC00836 may influence transcriptional regulation of nearby genes or interact with transcription factors and chromatin-modifying complexes.
- **Cell Growth and Proliferation**: Like many lncRNAs, it may have roles in regulating cell cycle progression and cardiovascular responses.
- **Tumorigenesis**: Given its expression profiles in cancer, LINC00836 might play a significant role in tumor biology.

Detailed functional analyses through experimental studies could elucidate its precise roles in these pathways and biological processes.

### Conclusion
LINC00836 is a long non-coding RNA that may have significant roles in gene regulation, cellular responses, and potentially in aging and cancer. While research is ongoing, further investigations are necessary to fully elucidate its functions, associated genes, pathways, and therapeutic implications.
