👉 A saliniferous gland is a type of gland that produces and secretes an enzyme called salinase, which plays a crucial role in the metabolism of uric acid. Saliniferous glands are found primarily in mammals, including humans. They produce and secrete the enzyme to break down uric acids into less harmful substances, such as oxalic acid and cholecalciferol. These enzymes play a vital role in maintaining the balance of uric acid levels in the body.
