Protein metabolism refers to the processes by which the body breaks down, uses, and builds proteins. It begins with digestion, where dietary proteins are broken down into amino acids. These amino acids are absorbed into the bloodstream and used to build new proteins needed for growth, repair, and maintenance of body tissues.

Excess amino acids can be converted into energy or stored as fat. Protein metabolism also involves the removal of waste products like ammonia, which is converted into urea and excreted through urine. Proper protein metabolism is essential for maintaining muscle mass, immune function, and overall body health.
