1. Structural proteins, maintain cell shape, akin to a skeleton, and compose structural parts of the body, like cartilage and bone in vertebrates.

2. Storage proteins house critical elements that your body needs.

3. Hormonal proteins basically act as your body's chemical "messengers."

4. Enzymes, which are biological catalysts needed for chemical reactions.
