Proteins are any complex organic compounds that consist of one or more chains of amino acids. Proteins are typically essential components of any living cell and indispensable to the proper functioning of all organisms.

• Scleroproteins or fibrous proteins:

• Cytoskeletal proteins (e.g. Keratin 4, Myo1b)

• Extracellular matrix proteins (e.g Vinculin)

• Globular proteins:

• Plasma proteins (e.g. Human serum albumin, Clusterin)

• Hemoproteins (e.g. Cytochrome, Hemoglobin)

• Cell adhesion proteins (e.g. Laminin, CDH1)

• Proteins that bind with hormones and growth factors (e.g. Insulin-like growth factor binding protein)

• Protein receptors either transmembrane or intracellular (e.g. Glycoprotein, Coup TFII)

• DNA-binding protein/nuclear proteins (e.g. Histone, Atoh1, Tata binding protein)

• Proteins that aid in nutrient storage and transport (e.g. Ferritin)

• Chaperone proteins (e.g. Calreticulin, Heat shock protein 47)

• Immune system proteins such as antigens and antibodies (e.g. Carcinoembryonic antigen,Immunoglobulin E

• Membrane proteins (e.g. Glycophorin, CD36)

• Enzymes (e.g. Urease, DNA polymerase)

• Amino acids (e.g. Lysine, Cysteine)

• Use the amino acid type for these.

• Vitamins and essential nutrients (e.g. Vitamin C, Folic acid)

• Use nutrient and chemical compound types for these.

• Genes (e.g. Active BCR related gene, Fibrillin 1)

• Use the gene type for these.

• Family or groups of proteins (e.g. Ankyrin, Keratin, Karyopherin)

• Use classification type for these.
