Proteins dissolving blood clot in heart therapy

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Blood clots in the body are normally broken up by the clot-dissolving enzyme, plasmin. Plasmin is generated when its inactive form, plasminogen, is activated by an enzyme called tissue plasminogen activator (tPA).
Detailed explanation-2: -Proteins, vaccines, and antibiotics are all produced by the process of cloning. This can include DNA copies, cells, organs, or even the complete animal aid using cloning. In agriculture, cloning is employed to create pest-resistant plants. Cloning is also utilized to create transgenic animals and for gene therapy.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, product of r-DNA used to dissolving blood clots is tissue plasminogen activator.
