Protein

Molecular classification: Polymer, Enzyme, Structural protein, Transport protein, Antibody, Hormone

Overview

Protein is a large, complex biomolecule essential for the structure, function, and regulation of the body's tissues and organs. It is a polymer made up of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds to form long polypeptide chains. Proteins perform a vast array of functions, including catalyzing biochemical reactions (enzymes), providing structural support, transporting molecules, defending against pathogens (antibodies), and acting as signaling molecules (hormones).
