Building blocks for your muscles
Yes. With inadequacy, you will not be able to recover at optimal rates to continue training and growing muscles.
0.7-1 gram per pound of bodyweight in a calorie surplus(when your eating more to gain weight). 1-1.3g per pound of bodyweight in a calorie deficit(when your eating less to lose weight)
Why? This is because your body would need more protein to compensate for lesser energy to build up muscles, vice versa.
