Abstract: Within a cell, the basic structure and functional unit of all living things, many substances contribute to its continuing existence. Ornithine decarboxylase, an enzyme, is one of these substances. This paper deals with finding the subcellular distribution of ornithine decarboxylase within the uteri of immature rats after they have been injected with estrogen. In other words, this project is to determine whether the enzyme is located in the nucleus, in the cytoplasmic components (supernatant), or possibly in both these cellular parts of the uteri of immature rats, following estrogen injection. First of all, however, an explanation of ornithine decarboxylase, estrogen, and similar research of this nature must be given.
