☆$\small\green {\sf{Answer }}$☆

Streptokinase is a single-chain polypeptide derived from β-hemolytic Streptococcus cultures. After intravenous (IV) administration, streptokinase binds to plasminogen, and the resulting streptokinase–plasminogen enzymatic complex converts plasminogen to plasmin.

Answer 2

Answer:

Streptokinase enzyme is produced by the bacterium Streptococcus. It is modified by genetic engineering and is used as a clot buster for removing clots from the blood vessels of patients who have suffered from myocardial infarction.
