Types of proteins

Enzymes
Build and Break down Molecules
They are critical for growth, digestion,
and many other processes.

Structural
Strengthen cells, tissues, organs

Signalling
Allow cells to communicate each other.
Signals, receptors, and relay proteins work
together to get information from outside to the inside of the cell

Regulatory
Bind DNA to turn genes
on and off

Transport
Move molecules and nutrients
around the body and in and out of cells

Sensory
Helps us learn about our environment.
They help us detect light, sound, touch, smell, taste, pain and heat.

Motor
Keep cells moving and changing shape.
They also transport components around inside cells.

Defense
Helps organisms fight infection, heal damaged tissue and evade predators

Storage
Stores nutrients and energy rich nutrients
for later use

Lactase
helps infants digest lactose

Tublin
Forms hollow tubes that
support cell structure

Insulin
Released into the blood stream after a meal. It activates the insulin receptor, which signals muscle and fat cells to store blood sugar

Hormones
Androgen and Estrogen
Control genes that trigger
the onset of puberty

Hemoglobin
In red blood cells pick up
oxygen from the lungs and
delivers it to all tissues in the body

Opsins
In the eye detect light. They convert light
into electrical and chemical signals that
can be interpreted by the brain

Muscle Cells
To contact muscle cells, millions of
tiny myosin simultaneously slide chains
of actin proteins

Antibodies
Battle bacteria and viruses that makes us sick

Gluten
Is a storage protein in the seeds of wheat,
barely, and rye. This food gives the seeding a fast start.

Neurons
A specialized cell in the nervous
system that can send and receive
electrical signals.

Neurotransmitters
A chemical substance produced by nerve cells that stimulate or inhabit other nerve cells.

Receptors
A chemical substance produced by cells
that binds to another biological molecule

Macromolecules

Lipids
A non-polar compound that
is made mostly of Carbon and Hydrogen

Amphipathic
A molecule with both polar
and non-polar functional groups

Fatty Acids
A molecule that consists of a

Faces inward away from water

Solid
Have longer and straight fatty acid chains
that can fold together
