The proteolytic activity of AqSEJ was confirmed by spectrophotometer and zymography experiments. Fibrinogen, fibrin and plasma protein hydrolyzing activities of AqSEJ were analyzed on SDS-PAGE under reduced conditions. Plasminogen activation and indirect hemolytic activities was analyzed using spectrophotometer. The non-toxic property of AqSEJ was tested by edema, hemorrhage in experimental mice. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; AqSEJ exhibited proteolytic activity and the specific activity was found to be 1.04 units/mg/min. Furthermore, AqSEJ non-specifically hydrolyzed A&amp;alpha;, followed by B&amp;beta; and &amp;gamma; chains of human fibrinogen and specifically hydrolyzed &amp;alpha; polymer and &amp;alpha; chain of partially cross linked human fibrin clot without affecting &amp;beta; chain and &amp;gamma;-&amp;gamma; dimer even up to the tested dose of 30 &amp;micro;g for the incubation period of 8 hours. Importantly, AqSEJ did not hydrolyze other plasma proteins and devoid of plasminogen activation property. The proteolytic activity of AqSEJ was completely neutralized by PMSF and IAA, while EDTA, EGTA, 1,10-Phenanthroline did not, suggesting the presence of serine and cysteine family proteases. Moreover, AqSEJ did not cause edema and hemorrhage in experimental mice up to the tested dose of 200 &amp;micro;g and non-toxic to RBC cells. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; AqSEJ hydrolyzes fibrinogen and fibrin clot and non-toxic in nature. Hence, this work showcases the potential applications of Jack fruit seed proteases in the treatment of thrombotic disorders.&lt;/p&gt;
