### SEPTIN4-AS1 Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol**: SEPTIN4-AS1  
**Gene Type**: Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)  

**NCBI Summary**: The SEPTIN4-AS1 gene is located on chromosome 4 and is known to be associated with the expression of the SEPTIN4 gene, which is involved in the formation of septin filaments. These filaments are essential components in various cellular processes, including cell division, cytoskeletal organization, and cellular compartmentalization.

**UniProt Summary**: Although SEPTIN4-AS1 is a long non-coding RNA, its interactions and influence on protein-coding genes such as SEPTIN4 suggest that it may play a regulatory role in gene expression and cellular functions.

### Additional Information

1. **Associated Genes**:
   - **SEPTIN4**: The primary gene associated with SEPTIN4-AS1. SEPTIN4 is involved in cellular processes like cytokinesis and cytoskeletal dynamics.
   - **Other SEPTIN genes**: SEPTIN1, SEPTIN2, SEPTIN3, etc. may also be indirectly affected as they are part of the septin family involved in similar cellular functions.

2. **Aging and Age-Related Diseases**:
   - Recent studies have suggested that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) like SEPTIN4-AS1 may have roles in cellular senescence and aging. However, specific studies linking SEPTIN4-AS1 directly to aging or age-related diseases are limited as of my last trained data. It's important to explore literature for ongoing research in these areas, as the role of lncRNAs in age regulation is a rapidly evolving field.
   - Potential implications in cancer: As many lncRNAs play roles in tumor progression and aging, alterations in the expression of SEPTIN4-AS1 could be studied in the context of cancer biology, where septins have also shown relevance.

3. **Drug Interactions**:
   - Specific drugs or drug classes that directly interact with SEPTIN4-AS1 are currently not well-documented. However, given the relevance of septins in various cellular processes and their links to cancer, it is plausible that pathways involving this gene could be influenced by chemotherapeutic agents targeting cellular division (e.g., taxanes, microtubule inhibitors). Again, direct interactions may need further clarification in contemporary research.

4. **Pathways and Biological Processes**:
   - **Cell Cycle Regulation**: SEPTIN4-AS1 may indirectly influence cell cycle processes through its regulation of SEPTIN4.
   - **Cytoskeletal Organization**: The gene participates in maintaining and modifying the structure of the cytoskeleton through its association with other SEPTIN and cytoskeletal genes.
   - **Cytokinesis**: SEPTIN4, regulated by SEPTIN4-AS1, plays a crucial role in cytokinesis, and thus any role of SEPTIN4-AS1 in this process is also significant.
   - **Apoptosis**: There is emerging evidence suggesting that lncRNAs can be involved in apoptosis and cellular stress responses, indicating a regulatory role in these processes possibly related to SEPTIN4-AS1.

### Conclusion

SEPTIN4-AS1, while primarily recognized as a long non-coding RNA, potentially plays a crucial role in regulating the expression of SEPTIN4 and associated cellular processes. The understanding of its implications in aging, disease, and drug interactions remains an area for future research as the role of lncRNAs becomes increasingly crucial in the genomic landscape. Further empirical studies are needed to solidify connections in the context of age-related diseases and therapeutic interventions.
