### CCDC83 Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol**: CCDC83  
**Full Name**: Coiled-Coil Domain Containing 83

CCDC83 is a gene that encodes a protein featuring coiled-coil domains, which are structural motifs that facilitate protein-protein interactions. This gene has been computationally predicted to have potential isoforms, though specific functional annotations of these isoforms are still under investigation.

### 1. Associated Genes
While specific interactions and associations can depend on various studies and databases, here are several genes known to be associated or functionally related to CCDC83:

- **ARL13B**: Defects in ARL13B are known to be implicated in Joubert Syndrome, a disorder that can involve ciliopathies; CCDC83 can play a role in cilia-related pathways.
- **CILK1**: Associated with the same pathways involved in cilium function.
- **TRIM29**: Involved in signaling pathways that overlap with mechanisms of action related to CCDC83.

### 2. Aging or Age-Related Diseases
Research into the CCDC83 gene's involvement in aging is limited but could be inferred from its role in cellular processes tied to cilia and cellular signaling. Cilia dysfunction is known to be implicated in various age-related conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases and certain developmental disorders, including:

- **Ciliopathies**: Disorders arising from dysfunctional cilia, which have been associated with aging mechanisms and tissue homeostasis.
- **Alzheimer's disease**: Potential indirect associations via involvement in signaling pathways affecting neuronal health.

### 3. Drug Interactions
Currently, there is no specific information available about drug interactions directly linked to the CCDC83 gene or its protein products. However, the protein’s role in cellular pathways suggests that it could potentially interact with pathways affected by drugs targeted at cilia functions or signaling mutations.

### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
The CCDC83 gene plays a role in several key biological processes, including but not limited to:

- **Cilia Formation**: CCDC83 has been implicated in the structure and function of cilia, which are essential for various cellular signaling pathways.
- **Signal Transduction**: Involvement in G-protein coupled receptors and other signaling cascades that regulate cell behavior.
- **Developmental Biology**: Since cilia are important in embryonic development, CCDC83 may have roles in developmental pathways impacting cell differentiation and proliferation.
- **Cellular Motility**: Given its role in ciliary function, CCDC83 may also influence processes related to cellular movement and the orientation of cells during development and tissue maintenance.

While data may evolve with ongoing research, the current understanding of CCDC83 suggests it is a gene of interest across multiple biological contexts, including but not limited to ciliary functions, signaling pathways, and possibly implications in both development and age-related diseases. Further characterization and experimental validation will be crucial to understanding its distinct roles in these processes.
