From: Metaproteomic analysis of human gut microbiota: where are we heading?
Applications of human gut metaproteomic study. Metaproteomic analysis has been employed to characterize functional roles of gut microbiota in healthy and disease conditions, which help to unravel the molecular mechanism underlying homeostasis and disease pathogenesis. Knowledge gained from metaproteomic study could be useful to devise strategies in disease prevention and management for improved human health
