Any of a group of proteins that are produced by living cells and act as catalysts in specific biochemical reactions (6)
I believe the answer is:
enzyme
(Other definitions for enzyme that I've seen before include "Catalytic protein molecule" , "Protein acting as a catalyst in biochemical reactions" , "Cell-produced protein" , "Biochemical catalyst produced in the body" , "Protein produced by cells that acts as a biochemical catalyst" .)
