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.
