Draft:List of proteins in the human body

There are many speculations to the number of proteins which could potentially be made,   however various sources agree on an estimated 10,000 proteins which are relevant to the human body. These estimates are thanks to recent advances in technology leading to the birth of the field of Proteomics. Another consensus which can also be found is that it takes 20000-25000 Proteins to make a human work and that our cells have the potential to make around a 100 000 different proteins depending on what is most convenient in the environment we live in. Even though this seems like a fair estimate, it is hard to find an empirical database which claims to list more than 10 000 proteins. Another way to approach it is by looking from the bottom up there are ~20,000 protein coding genes in the human genome, (of which it is estimated that 12,733 already have Wikipedia articles (the Gene Wiki) about them). If wone where to Including splice variants, some argue that there could be as many as 500,000 unique human proteins. All of these speculations are based on how the average human at the start of the 21' century looks.

This is a list for only those proteins which have been found in the human body so far. It contains about 1100 unique proteins (all of which have their own wiki article), some of which are listed multiple times waiting to be merged into one row. After the merging work there is still about 9200 proteins yet to be described and listed.

Naming Convention for the list
Essential cell biology 5 edition lists: Enzymes(which typically have EC number), Transport proteins(which typically have TC number), Motor Proteins, Storage Proteins, Signal proteins, Receptor Proteins, Transcription Proteins as the most common types of proteins. Finally the make a very broad category of Special-purpose proteins. So far this seems to be the most simple yet sufficient way to split proteins into types * An Enzyme Commission number refers to the reaction catalyzed by an enzyme and not the enzyme protein itself. This means that there is often more than one human gene that corresponds to a given EC number.
