Accepted Answer

Function Example

structural
1. Keratin

2. Collagen

enzyme Maltase

lower the blood sugar level insulin

oxygen transport haemoglobin and myoglobin

defence immunoglobulin

muscle contraction actin and myosin

storage ferritin

Collagen is the structural protein found in the connective tissue. Maltase is an example of enzyme that breaks down starch. Insulin is secreted from the beta cells of islets of Langerhans and regulate blood sugar level in the body of an individual. Immunoglobulin is an example protein that helps in defence mechanism. Ferritin is an example of storage protein. Actin and myosin help in the muscle contraction in the body of an individual. Hemoglobin and myoglobin help in the oxygen transport in the body of an individual.
