Myosin; this is a Contractile Protein. It is responsible for cell movements.

Myosin is a protein that converts chemical in the form of ATP to mechanical
energy. It is a globular protein.
Actin; this is a Contractile protein. Actin filaments are particularly abundant
beneath the plasma membrane, where they form a network that provides
mechanical support, determines cell shape, and allows movement of the cell
surface, thereby enabling cells to migrate, engulf particles, and divide. This is
a globular protein.
Insulin; this is a hormonal Protein responsible for regulating glucose
metabolism. This is a globular protein.
Oxytocin; this is a hormonal Protein responsible for stimulating contractions
in females during childbirth. This is a globular protein.
Keratin; this is a structural protein responsible for strengthening protective
coverings such as skin, hair, quills, and feathers. It is has a fibrous shape.
Collagen; this is a structural protein responsible for providing strength and
structure to tissue. It is the most abundant protein found in the bones,
muscles, skin and tendons. This is a globular protein.
Ferritin; this is a storage protein responsible for storing iron and releasing it.
This is a globular protein.
Casein; this is a storage protein. It is the main protein in milk and cheese. It
used in processed foods. This is a globular protein.
Hemoglobin; this is a transport protein responsible for carrying oxygen from
the lungs to body tissues and it returns carbon dioxide to the lungs from the
tissue. This is a globular protein
Cytochromes; this is a transport protein responsible for operating in the
electron transport chain as an electron carrier. This is a globular protein.
