Q. Which proteolytic enzyme induces lysis of fibrin during fibrinolysis?
Solution:
Plasmin is the proteolytic enzyme found in plasma which can digest many proteins through the process of hydrolysis. Plasmin (also known as fibrinolysin) is the active component of fibrinolytic system. This enzyme lyses fibrin and fibrinogen degrading products. Plasmin is formed by its active precursor plasminogen.
