List of Proteins[edit]
A protein is a complex molecule composed of amino acids that plays a crucial role in various biological processes. The following is a list of notable proteins:
Hemoglobin[edit]
Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells that is responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.
Insulin[edit]
Insulin is a protein hormone that regulates blood sugar levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells.

Myosin is a protein involved in muscle contraction and movement.
Immunoglobulins[edit]
Immunoglobulins, also known as antibodies, are proteins produced by the immune system to help defend the body against pathogens.
Enzymes[edit]
Enzymes are proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions in the body, speeding up the rate of these reactions.
Keratin[edit]
Keratin is a protein that forms the structural basis of hair, nails, and the outer layer of skin.
Actin[edit]
Actin is a protein that plays a key role in cell structure and movement.
Casein[edit]
Casein is a protein found in milk that is used in the production of cheese and other dairy products.
