How much protein from the stock of one large chicken (2kg) carcass once legs, breasts and wings removed?

How much protein from the stock of one large chicken (2kg) carcass once legs, breasts and wings removed? - From above of closeup of raw chicken legs with seasoning cooking on metal grill grate

I can find details of how much protein per body of fluid (e.g. 1 US cup) but to be honest we probably all make stock to a different concentration, so that makes that metric useless.

When I prepare a large chicken (2kg), I remove the breasts , wings and legs (and the oysters on the back) so I'm left with just the main carcass which I then simmer for ages. How much protein is extracted please?
