Endogenous protein, I believe, is protein found inside as opposed to exogenous, found outside. We humans have endoskeletons, whereas insects and lobsters have exoskeletons.

Endogenous proteins are proteins produced by the organism. Proteins found inside a cell of an organism are not all endogenous. For instance a virus that invade a cell has proteins that are not endogenous for the original organism, but they are inside.
