Rumen degradable protein (RDP) is feed protein that can be broken down by microbial enzymes in the rumen (neutral pH) where the resulting nitrogen, AA's or peptides are either utilized to meet microbial requirements or if unused, ammonia which is absorbed across the rumen wall and either recycled or excreted. Look up P. J. Van Soest "Nutritional Ecology of the Ruminant" in googlebooks for a more detailed description.

Restriction in protein intake will result in?
Protein degradation and muscle breakdown.
What structures or molecular machines are important for protein degradation in eukaryotes?
proteasome
What is the functiom of pepsinogen?
Pepsinogen is the precursor for Pepsin, an enzyme for the degradation of protein.
What is the denaturation of a protein?
Denaturation is the degradation of proteins, a change of the molecular structure.
What is the role of the liver in protein metabolism?
The liver produces the proteins that are secreted into the blood. The liver is responsible for protein metabolism, degradation and synthesis
How does Ubiquitin tagging fit into the process of protein degradation?
Ubiquitin tagging allows the 19S subunit of the 26S proteasome to recognize the potential protein substrate.
What is the degradation and synthesis of protein called?
denaturation for degradation synthesis: first step is Transcription, The second step is Translation; there are additional steps (post-translational modifications) after that the polypeptide is formed including the formation of 3D conformation
