Explain how proteins regulate blood pH


?Proteins can regulate blood pH by serving as buffers. Proteins can bind and release hydrogen ions in response to changes in blood pH, serving as both proton donors and acceptors depending on the pH of the blood. By serving this role, the proteins can prevent the blood pH from changing dramatically, protecting the body.
