Developmental changes in expression of argininosuccinate synthetase in human small intestine. Panel A: gestational week 14; panel B: jejunum of a 3-day-old term male neonate; panel C: ileum of a 3-year-old male toddler; panel D: ileum of a 6-year-old male child; panel E: ileum of a 22-year-old female patient; panel F: ileum of a 70-year-old female patient. Arrows in panel A indicate ASS-positive neurons in the myenteric plexus. Scale bar: 100 μm.
