  • Catalytic proteins, also known as enzymes, are catalysts that speed up chemical reactions.
  • Defense proteins, such as immunoglobulins or antibodies, are used in the body's defense system.
  • Transport proteins bind to a particular small biomolecule and transport them to other locations in the body, including hemoglobin, transferrin, HDL and LDL.
  • Messenger proteins transmit signals to coordinate biochemical processes between different cells, tissues, and organs, including insulin, glucagon and human growth hormone.
  • Contractile proteins, such as actin and myosin, are involved in muscle contraction.
  • Structural proteins, like collagen and keratin, provide structure to the body.
  • Transmembrane proteins control the movement of small molecules and ions through the cell membrane.
  • Storage proteins bind and store small molecules for future use.
  • Regulatory proteins are molecules that bind to enzymes.
  • Nutrient proteins, such as casein and ovalbumin, are nutrient-rich proteins.
