An Overview of Protein Functions

This template shows eight categories of protein function in a grid, including enzymatic proteins converting a ligand into products, storage proteins like ovalbumin releasing amino acids for an embryo, and hormonal proteins such as thyroid hormone secreted from the pituitary gland. Other panels cover motor proteins in a sarcomere, defensive antibodies binding a virus, transport proteins moving molecules through an ion channel, receptor proteins at a synapse, and structural proteins like collagen in connective tissue.
