A protein enzyme found in the liver and other organs, involved in breakdown of certain compounds.
From Gadus (the genus of cod) plus the chemical suffix '-in,' as this enzyme was first isolated from cod liver.
Gaduin is one of those words that connects dinner (fish) to dinner table chemistry—it's an enzyme that would have been in your fish, quietly digesting for millions of years.
