### Gene Overview: RPL26P35

**Gene Symbol**: RPL26P35  
**Gene Type**: Pseudogene  
**Chromosomal Location**: This gene is located on chromosome 1 and belongs to the ribosomal protein gene family. 

RPL26P35 is primarily considered a pseudogene of the ribosomal protein L26 gene (RPL26). Pseudogenes typically arise through processes such as gene duplication or retrotransposition, and while they share sequence homology with functional genes, they are generally non-functional and do not encode a protein. The major role attributed to pseudogenes is the potential for regulation of their functional counterparts, although specific interactions for RPL26P35 are less clear.

### 1. Associated Genes

RPL26P35 is associated with several other genes, primarily those involved in ribosome biogenesis or associated with protein synthesis pathways. While specific gene associations may not be extensively documented due to its nature as a pseudogene, it can be related to:

- **RPL26**: The functional gene from which RPL26P35 is derived.
- **Other RPL genes**: Genes that encode ribosomal proteins such as RPL26, RPL27, RPL29, etc.

### 2. Aging and Age-Related Diseases

There is limited direct research indicating that RPL26P35 is specifically associated with aging or age-related diseases. However, as a pseudogene of a ribosomal protein, it could potentially influence translational regulation indirectly tied to aging processes. 

Ribosomal proteins have been implicated in various cellular processes such as stress response and ribosome biogenesis, both of which can be associated with cellular aging. Additionally, dysregulation of ribosomal proteins has been associated with age-related diseases, including certain cancers and neurodegenerative disorders, but the exact role of RPL26P35 in these contexts remains unclear and warrants further investigation.

### 3. Drug Interactions

Since RPL26P35 is a pseudogene, it does not directly interact with drugs nor is it a target for therapeutic intervention. However, drugs targeting the RPL26 gene or other related pathways might indirectly affect the expression or role of RPL26P35, although specific drugs or drug classes have not been cataloged in relation to this pseudogene.

### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes

While RPL26P35 itself does not participate in biological processes due to its pseudogenic nature:

- **Ribosome Biogenesis**: As a member of the ribosomal protein gene family, it may be linked to the broader process of ribosome assembly and function.
- **Protein Synthesis**: As part of the machinery required for translation, pseudogene variants like RPL26P35 may play roles in modulating the expression or function of ribosomal proteins and their interactions.

### Conclusion

RPL26P35 is a pseudogene without significant functional implications on its own but remains biologically relevant through its relationship with functional ribosomal protein genes. Further research is required to fully elucidate its possible regulatory roles or implications in aging and disease processes. The absence of direct drug interactions emphasizes its relatively passive role in biological systems.
