Intracellular Protein Catabolism in Muscle

  • Chapter
Intracellular Protein Catabolism II

Abstract

We feel that our main function at this symposium is to act as devil’s advocates. Several of the speakers this week have discussed protein degradation in many different tissues. However, I would like to gently remind the audience that about half of the total weight of the body, or 40% of the total protein of the body is muscle, and of this protein, 60% is represented by contractile protein (1). The average turnover time of the contractile proteins has been estimated to be about 6 days, varying from 4 days for actin to about 11 days for myosin (2). It is obvious that the protein reservoir is not only large, but highly mobile in the musculature of the body.
