Proteins are broken down through digestion that begins in the stomach.,Proteins are broken down by enzymes known as proteases into smaller polypeptides to provide amino acids for the organism
Digestion typically begins in the stomach when pepsinogen is converted to pepsin by the action of hydrochloric acid, and continued by trypsin and chymotrypsin in the intestine. The amino acids and their derivatives into which dietary protein is degraded are then absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract.


If enough energy is not taken in through diet, the body will use protein from the muscle mass to meet its energy needs

First, proteins are digested to amino acids in the stomach and intestines by trypsin and pepsin enzymes. The amino acids are absorbed in the intestines

the kidneys;
A glomerulus is a capillary tuft surrounded by Bowman's capsule in nephrons of the vertebrate kidney. It receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole of the renal circulation. Unlike most other capillary beds, the glomerulus drains into an efferent arteriole rather than a venule. The resistance of the arterioles results in high pressure in the glomerulus aiding the process of ultrafiltration where fluids and soluble materials in the blood are forced out of the capillaries and into Bowman's capsule.
Podocytes line one side of the glomerular basement membrane and form part of the lining of Bowman's space. Podocytes form a tight interdigitating network of foot processes (pedicels) that control the filtration of proteins from the capillary lumen into Bowman's space.
