Answer:

<h2>Plasmin</h2>

Explanation:

Plasmin is a proteolytic enzyme; that causes clevase of proteins, mainly derived from an inert plasma precursor known as plasminogen. When clots are formed within blood vessels, they removed by the activation of plasminogen to plasmin which may lead to their removal.

Plasmin is released as a zymogen called plasminogen (inactive form) from the liver into the blood stream (systemic circulation).
