### CHP1P3 Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol**: CHP1P3

The CHP1P3 gene, also referred to as the "CHarge Protein 1 Pseudogene 3," is classified as a pseudogene due to its sequence homology with the functional CHP1 gene but lacks sufficient coding potential for a functional protein product. Being a pseudogene, it is thought not to play an active role in biological processes, though it may have regulatory effects or serve as a genetic marker.

### Associated Genes

While specific interactions or associations of the CHP1P3 gene with other genes are not typically highlighted given its pseudogenic nature, it is relevant to consider its proximity on the chromosomal locus to the functional CHP1 gene. Additionally, pseudogenes such as CHP1P3 can often be associated indirectly with genes involved in similar biological pathways or cellular functions, owing to their evolutionary relationships. However, specific known associations outside of the CHP1 remain under research and thus, may not be conclusively listed.

### Aging and Age-Related Diseases

As of the current knowledge cutoff in October 2023, there isn’t significant evidence linking the CHP1P3 gene to aging or age-related diseases directly. Nonetheless, functional derived information from the closely related CHP1 gene, which is associated with calcium signaling and regulation, could imply some potential involvement in cellular mechanisms related to aging. Calcium signaling has been implicated in numerous aspects of cellular aging, such as apoptosis and cellular homeostasis; however, specific age-related research involving CHP1P3 remains sparse.

### Drug Interactions

Given that CHP1P3 is a pseudogene, it is less likely to have direct pharmacological interactions or be a target for drug actions. However, compounds or drugs that affect the associated functional and homologous CHP1 gene or pathways may incidentally influence processes related to CHP1P3 expression or regulation. To identify specific drug classes or interactions would generally require contemporary studies or drug databases that are updated to include such genomic relationships or mechanistic insights.

### Pathways and Biological Processes

Being a pseudogene, CHP1P3 does not have any well-defined biological functions or pathways ascribed to it. However, it is located within a genomic context where the functional gene, CHP1, is involved in calcium signaling pathways and various cellular processes, including:

1. **Regulation of Calcium Ion Transport**: CHP1 is involved in the regulation of intracellular calcium levels, which plays a significant role in cellular signaling and muscle contraction.

2. **Response to Stress**: Calcium signaling pathways are integral in cellular responses to stress, which could theoretically extend to roles in longevity or resilience in the face of age-related challenges.

3. **Cell Cycle Regulation**: Calcium signaling has implications for cell cycle regulation, making it relevant to growth and division—a factor that could have indirect implications for aging studies.

Overall, while the CHP1P3 gene does not itself have documented pathways or processes due to its nature as a pseudogene, its relationship to functional homologs and contextual genomic interactions may yield insights into relevant biological areas of interest. Further research into the regulatory aspects and functional implications of pseudogenes can provide deeper understanding in this domain.
