How do proteins function?
•Structural: Actin is an example it is a major component of the cells architecture as well as the contractile apparatus
•Carriers:  Hemoglobin is an example.  It functions to carry O2 to tissue and eliminate CO2
•Regulatory: Transcription factors bind to DNA a control the level of mRNA that is produced
•Transport: EGFR-epithelial growth factor receptor.  Binds EGF and signals for cell growth.
•Binders:  Immunoglobulin proteins or antibodies- bind to foreign proteins and destroy infectious agents.
