Protein Metabolism

 Protein Metabolism

Introduction

Proteins are the building blocks of all cells in the body. The metabolism of proteins is quite different from carbohydrate and fats as it is not the primary energy producing molecule.

The special features of protein metabolism are given below-

1. The capacity of protein synthesis in the body is limited.

2. The capacity of protein storage in the body is limited and may occur under special circumstances.

3. Distribution of proteins in the body is specific to an organ.

4. The process of metabolism is different from other two.

5. The end products of protein metabolism are nitrogenous in nature.
