Essential functions of proteins
- Structure and repair: They are the building blocks for cells, such as in muscles, hair and skin.
- Metabolism: They produce enzymes that are essential for chemical reactions and metabolic processes.
- Immune function: They play a role in the immune system, for example in antibody production.
- Energy source: They can serve as a source of energy for the body, but there is no specialised storage for them.
