Protein Defined

  1. The complete, assembled form of a holoprotein, containing all necessary subunits (eg. hemoglobin is comprised of two a and two b globin subunits, as well as a heme prosthetic group) (see also polypeptide).
  2. A large molecule composed of one or more chains of amino acids in a specific order; the order is determined by the base sequence of nucleotides in the gene coding for the protein. Proteins are required for the structure, function, and regulation of the bodys cells, tissues, and organs, and each protein has unique functions. Examples are hormones, enzymes, and antibodies.
