### TMEM30BP1 Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol:** TMEM30BP1  
**Location:** This gene is located on a specific chromosome and encodes for a protein involved in various cellular functions, particularly related to membrane dynamics and vesicle trafficking. 

### 1. Associated Genes
TMEM30BP1 is functionally linked to several other genes involved in cellular processes. While the specific interactions may not be detailed in the summaries from NCBI and UniProt, genes often associated with TMEM30BP1 due to shared pathways or functional roles may include:
- **AP1S1** (AP-1 complex subunit sigma-1)
- **SNAP23** (synaptosomal-associated protein 23) 
- **VAMP2** (vesicle-associated membrane protein 2) 
- **RAB proteins** (involved in vesicle trafficking) 

These associations may result from co-expression patterns or involvement in membrane trafficking mechanisms.

### 2. Aging and Age-Related Diseases
As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, specific research linking TMEM30BP1 directly to aging or age-related diseases may be limited. However, understanding its role in vesicle transport and membrane dynamics could provide insights into:
- **Neurodegenerative Diseases:** Defects in membrane trafficking are often implicated in conditions like Alzheimer's or Parkinson’s disease.
- **Cellular Senescence:** Alterations in protein degradation pathways may influence aging and longevity.

Further research would be essential to elucidate direct connections to specific age-related phenotypes or diseases.
