Streptokinase, β-hemolytic streptococcus (Lancefield Group C)

• CAT Number: I044245
• CAS Number: 9002-01-1
• Purity: ≥95%

Streptokinase, β-hemolytic streptococcus (Lancefield Group C) is a bacteria-derived protein and a plasminogen activator. Streptokinase is widely used for the research of the blood-clotting disorders. Streptokinase improves reperfusion blood flow after coronary artery occlusion[1][2].
Sreptokinase (6000 IU/kg in 3 ml of saline; intracoronary; infused at 0.05 ml/min for 60 minutes beginning 30 minutes before reperfusion) maintains reperfusion coronary blood flow through a critical stenosis at a rate similar to baseline levels[2].
