It is destitute of tasteand smell, is soluble in 27 parts of cold water, andin 625 parts of cold alcohol, sp. gr. 0-82. Itsaqueous solution is neutral. It melts at 170° C. Itunites both with acids and with bases. It was firstdiscovered in putrid cheese, and is largely present in the pancreas andpancreatic juice, and is also found in the salivary glands and saliva, in thespleen, kidneys, and supra-renal bodies; in the thymus, thryoid and lymphaticglands, in the fluids of the lungs, and in pus, and occasiona
