Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I, the most abundant protein of rat liver mitochondria, plays a key role in synthesis of urea. Because aging affects some liver functions, and because there is no information on the levels of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I during aging, we assayed the activity of this enzyme and determined immunologically the level of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I in liver homogenates from young (4 months) and old (18 or 26 months) rats. In addition, we used electron microscopic immunogold procedures to locate and measure the amount of the enzyme in the mitochondrial matrix. There is no significant change in enzyme activity or enzyme protein content with age, although there is a higher concentration of the enzyme in the mitochondria (c. 1.5 times greater) from old rats, which is compensated by a decrease in the fractional volume of the mitochondrial compartment during aging.
