The correct answer is Thrombokinase Key Points

  • Thrombokinase:
    • The clotting of blood is a chain reaction initiated by the enzyme Thrombokinase produced by the platelets. 
    • This causes Prothrombin and calcium salts in plasma to join and produce thrombin. 
    • Thrombin combines with Fibrinogen to produce Fibrin threads which entangle the corpuscles to create a clot.
    • Vitamin K usually helps for the clotting of blood.
  • Amylase:
    • ​It is a digestive enzyme secreted by the pancreas and salivary glands.
  • Peptidase:
    • ​It is an enzyme that breaks down protein into amino acids.
  • Lipase: 
    • It is an enzyme that breaks down fats, and it has an essential role in digestion.
