Streptokinase and tissue-type plasminogen activator are used for:
Streptokinase and tissue-type plasminogen activator are used for:
dissolve damaging blood clots
aspirin or a machine called tissue plasminogen activator.
Tissue plasminogen activator.
Both are thrombolyltic drugs. Streptokinase binds to the active complex. It promotes the cleavage of the Arg/Val bond of plasminogen leading to the formation of plasmin. The plasmin then breaks down the matrix of the thrombus. A tissue plasminogen activator is alteplase. It binds to fibrin-rich clots and cleaves the Arg/Val bond of plasminogen to produce plasmin. The plasmin then breaks down the matrix of the thrombus.

Tissue Plasminogen Activator
Alteplase is the trade name for recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tPA), a medication given to certain patients with ischemic stroke, pulmonary embolus, or myocardial infarction.

In the body's natural systems, tissue plasminogen activator or tPA attaches itself to the clot and breaks it down by plasmin fibrinolysis. This is done artificially (thrombolysis) using drugs such as streptokinase, urokinase, or recombinant tPA formulations.
