enzymes
these are responsible for catalyzing a specific chemical reaction
structural proteins
strengthen and protect cells and tissues (e.g., collagen strengthens animal tissues)
storage proteins
store nutrients; particularly abundant in eggs (e.g., ovalbumin in egg white) and seeds (e.g., zein in corn kernels)
transport proteins
transport specific substances between cells (e.g., hemoglobin transports oxygen in red blood cells); move specific substances (e.g., ions, glucose, amino acids) across cell membranes
regulatory proteins
some are protein hormones (e.g., insulin); some control the expression of specific genes
motile proteins
participate in cellular movements (e.g., actin and myosin are essential for muscle contraction)
protective proteins
defend against foreign invaders (e.g., antibodies play a key role in the immune system)
