Excess protein can not be stored in the body. They are broken down into aminoacids which are then deaminated by delinking amino group from carboxylic group. Amino group is converted to ammonia then combined with CO2 to form uric acid which is then taken to the liver to be eliminated. Caboxylic group is converted to glucose which is used in the body.
