### TCP10L Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol**: TCP10L (T-complex protein 10 like)

**Functions**: 
- TCP10L exhibits several functions including:
  - Identical protein binding activity.
  - Protein self-association (promoting interactions between identical molecules).
  - Transcription corepressor activity.
- It plays a role in the negative regulation of transcription mediated by RNA polymerase II.
- Primarily located in the nucleus, where it is involved in molecular processes linked to gene expression.

**Role in Cancer**: 
- TCP10L has been suggested to act as a tumor suppressor in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells, indicating a role in cancer biology.

### Additional Associations:
1. **Associated Genes**:
   - TCP10L is often investigated in conjunction with genes involved in cancer pathways, transcription regulation, and cellular stress response. Specific gene associations can vary based on experimental context, but common associated gene targets may include tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes. Genes like TP53 (tumor protein p53), MYC (myelocytomatosis oncogene), and those involved in cell cycle regulation (CDK, cyclins) may have reported associations indirectly through regulatory pathways.

2. **Aging and Age-Related Diseases**:
   - While direct links between TCP10L and aging are not extensively documented, its role in transcription regulation suggests it could influence gene expression patterns associated with cellular aging or stress responses. Alterations in transcriptional regulation are implicated in various age-related diseases, including cancers and neurodegenerative disorders.

3. **Drug Interactions**:
   - As of the latest data until October 2023, specific drugs explicitly targeting TCP10L have not been widely reported. However, compounds acting on related pathways, particularly those affecting transcription factors or epigenetic modulators, may indirectly interact with the functions of TCP10L. For instance, histone deacetylase inhibitors (like vorinostat) and other agents aimed at altering gene expression might have a relevant impact.

4. **Pathways and Biological Processes**:
   - **Pathways**: TCP10L is involved in pathways related to transcription regulation. Specifically, it participates in signaling pathways that impact gene expression through interactions with transcription machinery and chromatin remodeling complexes.
   - **Biological Processes**:
     - Regulation of transcription, DNA-templated
     - Response to stress and cellular homeostasis
     - Negative regulation of RNA polymerase II transcription
     - Tumor suppression mechanisms in certain cancers

### Conclusion
TCP10L is an essential gene with a multifaceted role in transcriptional regulation, particularly in cancer biology. Ongoing research may elucidate further associations with aging and therapeutic targets, enhancing our understanding of its implications in both health and disease.
