Collagenase is potentially irreversibly inactivated at pH <5 and reversibly inactivated at pH â¥8.5; activity can be restored by return of pH to 7.4.a. Collagenase can be destroyed by other proteolytic enzymes or by exposure to temperatures >56Â°C.a.
Splenectomy is a surgical procedure to remove your spleen. The spleen is an organ that sits under your rib cage on the upper left side of your abdomen. It helps fight infection and filters unneeded material, such as old or damaged blood cells. The most common reason for splenectomy is to treat a ruptured spleen, often caused by an abdominal injury.
The spleen (from Greek ÏÏÎ»Î®Î½ â splá¸n) is an organ found in virtually all vertebrates. Similar in structure to a large lymph node, it acts primarily as a blood filter. The spleen plays important roles in regard to red blood cells (also referred to as erythrocytes) and the immune system.It removes old red blood cells and holds a reserve of blood, which can be valuable in case of hemorrhagic shock, and also recycles iron.n accessory spleen is a small splenic nodule extra to the spleen usually formed in early embryogenesis. Accessory spleens are found in approximately 10 percent of the population and are typically around 1 centimeter in diameter.
