Storage proteins serve as biological reserves of metal ions and amino acids, used by organisms. They are found in plant seeds, egg whites, and milk.

Ferritin is an example of a storage protein that stores iron. Iron is a component of heme, which is contained in the transport protein, hemoglobin and in cytochromes.

Some storage proteins store amino acids. Storage proteins' amino acids are us Lubert | year = 2002 | title = Biochemistry | edition = 5th | publisher = New York: W. H. Freeman | isbn = 978-0-7167-3051-4 | url-access = registration | url = https://archive.org/details/biochemistrychap00jere }}
