Proteins - Endogenous

Description

Endogenous Proteins are a group of Proteins that are manufactured within the human body - usually within the Liver.  It is noteworthy that half of the dry weight of a relatively lean human body is in the form of endogenous Proteins.

Alkaloids

 Xeronine is claimed to be a vital component of the body’s endogenous Proteins.  ^[1]

Amino Acids

 Endogenous Proteins are manufactured within the Liver from Amino Acids.

Enzymes

 L-Isoaspartylmethyltransferase may recognize defective EndogenousProteins and helps to repair these defective Proteins.

Hormones

 Adrenaline may inhibit the breakdown () of Endogenous Proteins.  ^[2]

 Insulin stimulates the synthesis of many endogenous Proteins (it alters Gene expression of messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA) and Ribosomes that control the synthesis of endogenous Proteins).  ^[3]

 Thyroxine accelerates both the synthesis of () and breakdown of () endogenous Proteins.  ^[4]

Lipids

 Alpha-Linolenic Acid (LNA) may help to hold endogenous Proteins in place within Cell Membranes (due to the electrostatic attractive forces of LNA's double bonds). 

 Phospholipids hold endogenous Proteins in place within Cells.

Minerals

 Impaired synthesis of endogenous Proteins may occur as a result of Chromium deficiency.
