### CPSF1P2 Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol:** CPSF1P2  
**Location:** Chromosomal location can vary based on the organism but generally, it is found in the human genome.

**Summary:**  
CPSF1P2 (Cleavage and Polyadenylation Specificity Factor 1 Pseudogene 2) is classified as a pseudogene in the CPSF gene family, which is involved in the cleavage and polyadenylation of pre-mRNAs. As a pseudogene, CPSF1P2 does not exhibit typical attributes of functional genes, often lacking coding potential or exhibiting significant mutations that prevent protein expression.

### Associated Genes

While specific genes directly associated with CPSF1P2 are not universally detailed, pseudogenes like CPSF1P2 are often related to their parental genes. The following are genes that are more broadly involved in related pathways:

- **CPSF1:** This is the primary gene that encodes a component of the cleavage and polyadenylation factor, which CPSF1P2 is derived from.
- **CPSF2:** Another member of the CPSF family involved in the same polyadenylation process.
- **CPSF3** and **CPSF4:** Additional genes participating in RNA processing and linked pathways.

### Aging and Age-Related Diseases

As of the latest data available, there is not extensive direct research indicating a clear link between CPSF1P2 and aging or age-related diseases. However, dysregulation in RNA processing and polyadenylation pathways (where its parent gene CPSF1 is active) is known to influence cellular aging and has been implicated in conditions such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and other age-related ailments. The involvement of core cellular processes may indirectly tie pseudogene activity to the aging phenomenon.

### Drug Interactions

CPSF1P2 itself is a pseudogene and thus typically does not have direct drug interactions like functional protein-coding genes. However, potential research exploring compounds targeting the CPSF gene family or related RNA processing pathways may provide insights into indirect interactions. Drugs that modulate gene expression or RNA splicing could have an impact where CPSF proteins are involved, although specific drug information associated with CPSF1P2 is currently lacking.

### Pathways and Biological Processes

Although CPSF1P2 is a pseudogene, its parent gene CPSF1 participates in critical biological processes such as:
- **RNA Processing:** Particularly involved in the cleavage and polyadenylation of pre-mRNA transcripts, which is vital for mRNA maturation.
- **Gene Expression Regulation:** Plays a role in the regulation of gene expression through influence over mRNA stability.
- **Cell Cycle Regulation:** Involvement in factors that determine the stability and degradation of mRNA may affect cellular proliferation and differentiation.

### Conclusion

CPSF1P2 is largely recognized as a pseudogene related to RNA processing pathways through its parent gene, CPSF1. While explicitly functional roles and drug interactions directly involving CPSF1P2 are limited, it remains contextually significant within the framework of gene expression and its broader implications for health, aging, and disease. Further research into the CPSF gene family may yield novel insights connecting CPSF1P2 to various biological and disease processes.
