### TMEM132D-AS2 Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol:** TMEM132D-AS2

**Description:**
TMEM132D-AS2 is an antisense long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) gene that is closely associated with the TMEM132D gene, which is implicated in neuronal and immune system functions. The TMEM132D-AS2 gene is thought to play a role in the regulation of the TMEM132D gene and potentially influences various cellular processes.

### Associated Genes
While specific profiling of gene associations may vary, lncRNA genes such as TMEM132D-AS2 generally have close ties to their sense counterparts and related regulatory mechanisms. In the context of TMEM132D-AS2, the following may be relevant:
- **TMEM132D**: The primary gene it is associated with.
- **Other lncRNAs**: Depending on the tissue and functional context, there might be other lncRNAs co-expressed or functionally related to TMEM132D-AS2.

### Aging or Age-related Diseases
Current knowledge regarding TMEM132D-AS2 in connection with aging or age-related diseases is limited. However:
- Non-coding RNAs, including lncRNAs, have been increasingly related to aging processes and cellular senescence.
- Aberrant expression of lncRNAs, including those like TMEM132D-AS2, could potentially influence neurodegenerative diseases and other age-related conditions, although specific effects for this gene remain to be elucidated.

### Drug and Drug Classes
As of October 2023, there is no direct evidence or established drugs that specifically target TMEM132D-AS2. However, compounds affecting the expression of lncRNAs in general might indirectly modulate its activity. Further research may be necessary, as this area is still being explored.

### Pathways and Biological Processes
The exact pathways involving TMEM132D-AS2 are not exhaustively documented, but potential involvement includes:
- **Regulation of Gene Expression**: As a long non-coding RNA, TMEM132D-AS2 may participate in the regulation of TMEM132D and other genes.
- **Neuronal Function**: Given the association with TMEM132D, its involvement may extend to processes regulating neuronal activity or development.
- **Immune Response**: TMEM132D's association with immune functions suggests that TMEM132D-AS2 could have roles in modulating immune pathways.

Further elucidation of the specific pathways and biological processes may arise from ongoing research efforts which investigate non-coding RNAs and their functional implications in various cellular contexts.
