Your question is likely incomplete. All types of proteins found in cells are CRUCIAL for life.
Proteins can have several functions.
1. As enzymes they have a catalytic function.
2. As antibodies they can regulate the immune system.
3. Signaling pathways- involved in signaling pathways that regulate all kinds of functions in the body.
4. Proteins can be messengers (hormones). These messengers will bring messages from other parts of body. A common example is insulin.
5. There are receptors that are proteins that will accept the message and relate it to other factors inside the protein so that a certain function can happen.
6. Scaffolding proteins- large proteins that have multiple functional and activation sites that will bind various proteins together and create a network. Also bring proteins that otherwise will not interact closer together so that they can interact.
7. Structural proteins- some proteins make up the structure of cells. When considering the mass, these make up the largest amount of proteins in the body. For example, elastin and collagen that make up the skin or actin and myosin in muscle cells.
Proteins have many other functions. Not one is important without the other.
