    Are proteins in our body competition with each other? It is known that bacteria in our intestines compete, but regarding proteins I only found here:

    "RNA transcripts, both protein-coding and non-coding, thus have the ability to compete for microRNA binding and co-regulate each other in complex ceRNA networks (ceRNETs)"

    Does anyone know more competition in our body?

    They compete for shared non-coding miRNA - I would never consider that to be much of "Protein Competition". There are plenty of natural "competitions" in our bodies, ranging from the most complex (evolution) to the most specific (ceRNA). I would like to see a better source of this information by the way, if you have one.
