HyaluronidaseAn enzyme made by traumatized cartilage (to soften and regenerate itself when injured), sperm cells (to dissolve the protective layer around an ovum), the spleen (to speed up hemolysis), added to an IM injection (so it doesn't get surrounded by connective tissue and never disperse) and produced by some really nasty bacteria so they can dissolve connective tissue and get deep into the body. Hyaluronic acid is the target, and it is a basic mucopolysaccharide rivet, keeping large masses of polymerized compounds in the state of constant colloid jell (or more technically, a hydrogel facilitant).
