Protein is one of the most important biological evidences in forensic medicine. The proteins present in a specific sample are specific to each sample owner and are related to each specific tissue or organ. Because of this specificity, proteins are used to identify the tissue and the owner of the sample. The purpose of this review is to investigate the use and potential of proteins in forensic medicine. In this study, we will also examine the use of different techniques, including mass spectrometry, to detect proteins and their use in forensic medicine. This study will also mention the role of proteomics in solving intractable problems. Some innovative applications of proteomics in forensic medicine will also be mentioned.
