Protein anabolism
Protein synthesis or anabolism is important functions of cell. Small molecules are used as the starting points of a variety of reactions to produce larger and more complex molecules, including proteins and nucleic acids; this process is called anabolism.
Protein synthesis is stimulate by growth hormone, thyroxin and insulin. Among the anabolic hormones, the pituitary makes available one of the most potent anabolic agents.
During digestion, food protein is broken down to amino acids. Once absorbed, the amino acids circulate in the blood to build new proteins. Protein anabolism is highly dependent on dietary nutrient intake. Adequate supply of nutrient material is necessary for protein synthesis.
The new protein perform numerous function including growth and maintenance, creation of essential substances, structure components of cells, primary constituents of antibodies, fluid regulation, acid-base balance, and transportation of nutrients in the body.
Anabolism is a reductive process that requires energy. One of liver function is protein anabolism. For examples, the liver produce albumin, a protein that circulates in the blood and helps to transport nutrients to tissues.
Apart from this, liver also uses amnion acids to manufacture compounds such as creatine.
