This page is about the organic compound. For the rock band Protein, see Protein (band)

A protein (from the Greek protas meaning "of primary importance") is a complex, high-molecular-mass, organic compound that consists of amino acids joined by peptide bonds. Proteins are essential to the structure and function of all living cells and viruses.

Different proteins perform a wide variety of biological functions. Some proteins are enzymes, which catalyze chemical reactions. Other proteins play structural or mechanical roles, such as those that form the struts and joints of the cytoskeleton, which is like a system of scaffolding within a cell. Still more functions filled by proteins include immune response and the storage and transport of various ligands.
