Top 5 Protein inside of the body INTRODUCTION All the cells of your body contain protein, and this protein is continually broken down and remodeled to meet your growth and maintenance needs. Consuming sufficient protein in your daily diet ensures you have adequate raw materials to replenish these proteins. Protein digestion, in which your body breaks down dietary protein into usable amino acids, makes this nutrient available to your cells in support of muscle maintenance, immune function, hormone synthesis, red blood cell formation and tissue repair. 1. DNA polymerase - DNA polymerase is a protein (enzyme) that binds and copies DNA. It creates two new DNA molecules, each containing one new and old strand. This DNA is then separated and divided into two new cells during mitosis. Proteasome - Proteasomes are large protein complexes within cells that degrade proteins. Almost like a garbage disposal, proteins are threaded into them. They cleave these into small peptides,
