Localization of intestinal pacemaker cells and synapses in the muscle layers of a patient with colonic hypoganglionosis

Bowel dysmotility in association with hypoganglionosis remains unexplained. The proto-oncogene c- kit encodes a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor, and the c- kit protein-product (C-KIT) positive cells in the mammalian gut are responsible for intestinal pacemaker activity. The authors examined t...
