Streptokinase Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 414 amino acids and having a molecular weight of 47.3kDa.The Streptokinase is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Streptokinase is an extracellular metallo-enzymeproduced by beta-haemolytic streptococcusand is used as an effective and cheap clot-dissolving medicationin some cases of myocardial infarction(heart attack) and pulmonary embolism.It belongs to a group of medications known as fibrinolytics, and works by activating plasminogenthrough cleavage to produce plasmin.
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Streptokinase in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. The specific biological activity measured by the ability of fibrin lysis in agarose plate was found to be 80000U/mg.
