To see if insulin receptor kinase activity alters with aging, the activity of wheat germ agglutinin-purified receptor preparations from liver and skeletal muscle was compared in 2-, 4-, 10-, and 20-mo-old rats. Basal and insulin-stimulated autophosphorylation of liver insulin receptor and its kinase activities toward histone 2b and poly(Glu4Tyr1) did not alter with aging. On the other hand, the muscle insulin receptor showed different results. Insulin-stimulated increases of autophosphorylation and the kinase activity toward histone 2b above basal were comparable in the four groups. However, insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of poly(Glu4Tyr1) was decreased in 20-mo-old rats compared with 10- and 4-mo-old rats. These results indicate that insulin receptor kinase activity could vary under certain conditions, depending on the substrate used to measure the activity. It is concluded that insulin receptor kinase activity does not change markedly during the process of aging, although subtle changes seem to exist.
