They represent cell signaling receptors, signaling molecules, structural members, enzymes, intracellular trafficking components, extracellular matrix scaffolds, ion pumps, ion channels, oxygen and CO2 transporters
hemoglobin
is also used for growth and repair.
Protein
When protein-rich foods
enter the stomach, they
are greeted by a
mixture of the enzyme?
pepsin and hydrochloric
acid
cuts proteins
into smaller
polypeptides and their
constituent amino acids.
Pepsin
also stimulates
the pancreas to release
sodium bicarbonate
Secretin
decomposition results in hydrocarbons and
nitrogenous waste.
Amino acid
occurs in all cells of the body
via transcription and then translation.
Protein synthesis
also occurs in all cells of the body catalysed by variousenzymes, which include proteases.
Protein breakdown
each non-essential amino acid is slightly different, they all occur by a process known
as
transamination
includes Albumin, Globulin, Fibrinogen, CRP
(C-reactive protein), and Clotting factors – Factors II, VII, IX and X are Vitamin K dependent, Thrombopoietin,
Angiotensinogen
Plasma Protein
Through transamination, amino acids are converted
into keto acids, using an acceptor to accept the amine group. This is catalyzed by
aminotransferases
Amino acid + a-ketoglutarate
glutamate and ketoacid
Amino acids + oxaloacetate
aspartate and ketoacid
Aspartate + a-ketoglutarate
oxaloacetate and glutamate
Glutamate is metabolised further by
glutamate dehydrogenase.
The ammonium is highly toxic and must therefore be
removed through the
urea cycle
is a set of biochemical reactions that
produces urea from ammonium ions in order to prevent a
toxic level of ammonium in the body.
urea cycle
Urea Cycle
discovered by
Hans Krebs and Kurt Henseleit in 1932
Also known as the fed state, occurs after a meal when your body is digesting the food and absorbing the nutrients (anabolism exceeds catabolism).
Absorptive State
When the body is deprived of nourishment for an extended period of time, it goes into “survival mode.”
Starvation
