Hormones are the protein-based chemicals secreted by the endocrine glands.

Enzymatic proteins decelerate the metabolic activity in the cells.
Transport proteins are structurally associated with nucleic acids, either DNA or RNA. Nucleoprotein is an example of the genetic protein.

Structural proteins provide support and structure to cells and tissues, such as collagen in connective tissues and keratin in hair and nails. Motor proteins are involved in cellular movement and functions, such as myosin in muscle contraction. Regulatory proteins control and regulate various cellular processes, such as transcription factors that regulate gene expression. Immunoproteins are involved in the immune system, such as antibodies that help the body fight off infections. Communication proteins facilitate cell signaling and communication, such as neurotransmitters in the nervous system. Energy storage proteins store amino acids for later use, such as in egg white proteins. Overall, proteins play a crucial role in the structure, function, and regulation of the body's cells and tissues.
