Question

Streptokinase enzyme is used for:

• A. Removing clot from blood vessels
• B. Clarifying fruit juices
• C. Synthesis of cholesterol
• D. Removing oily stains

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Streptokinase is an enzyme produced by certain streptococcal bacteria. It acts as a clot buster by converting plasminogen to plasmin, which dissolves blood clots. It is widely used in medical treatments for myocardial infarctions (heart attacks) and other blood clot-related conditions.

Answer 2

Streptokinase is an enzyme that is used in medicine to dissolve blood clots. It is often used as a thrombolytic agent in the treatment of conditions like heart attacks or stroke, where blood clots obstruct blood flow in the vessels.

• Clarifying fruit juices and removing oily stains are not functions of streptokinase.
• Synthesis of cholesterol is unrelated to streptokinase, as cholesterol synthesis is a metabolic process in the body that does not involve streptokinase.
