I would like to know the name of the enzyme which is used for preventing coagulation of the milk?.

It's called Chymosin. http://arbl.cvmbs.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/digestion/stomach/rennin.html

But chymosin causes the coagulation of milk, it doesn't prevent it.

A little ways down on the page it says:

 

In essence, kappa casein normally keeps the majority of milk protein soluble and prevents it from spontaneously coagulating. Enter chymosin. Chymosin proteolytically cuts and inactivates kappa casein, converting it into para-kappa-casein and a smaller protein called macropeptide.
