S: (n) protein (any of a large group of nitrogenous organic compounds that are essential constituents of living cells; consist of polymers of amino acids; essential in the diet of animals for growth and for repair of tissues; can be obtained from meat and eggs and milk and legumes) "a diet high in protein"
S: (n) capsid (the outer covering of protein surrounding the nucleic acid of a virus)
S: (n) gluten (a protein substance that remains when starch is removed from cereal grains; gives cohesiveness to dough)
S: (n) enzyme (any of several complex proteins that are produced by cells and act as catalysts in specific biochemical reactions)
S: (n) fibrin (a white insoluble fibrous protein formed by the action of thrombin on fibrinogen when blood clots; it forms a network that traps red cells and platelets)
S: (n) filaggrin (the main protein of the keratohyalin granules) "the specific target of the immune response in rheumatoid arthritis is filaggrin"
S: (n) growth factor (a protein that is involved in cell differentiation and growth)
S: (n) haptoglobin (a protein in plasma that binds free hemoglobin and removes it (as from wounds))

S: (n) prostate specific antigen, PSA (a protein manufactured exclusively by the prostate gland; PSA is produced for the ejaculate where it liquifies the semen and allows sperm cells to swim freely; elevated levels of PSA in blood serum are associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer)
S: (n) proteome (the full complement of proteins produced by a particular genome)
S: (n) cytokine (any of various protein molecules secreted by cells of the immune system that serve to regulate the immune system)
S: (n) ferritin (a protein containing 20% iron that is found in the intestines and liver and spleen; it is one of the chief forms in which iron is stored in the body)
S: (n) antibody (any of a large variety of proteins normally present in the body or produced in response to an antigen which it neutralizes, thus producing an immune response)
