I don't think they are stored. Obviously they are used to make structures such as muscle. If there is a dietary shortage of protein muscle can be broken down to provide amino acids. I have been told that small amounts of muscle tissue may break down in the short period of overnight fasting, and that this has encouraged dieticians to stress the importance of breakfast. I cannot give references for this and frankly consider it should be treated with caution.
