All three macro nutrients - fats, carbohydrates, and proteins can and are converted to stored fat.
Many protein supplements claim that "excess" protein just passes through and a fair amount does - while causing excess work and potential harm to the liver and kidneys.
Across the board though all of the three main macro nutrients can be converted by the liver for storage in fat cells.

What does fat do for body?
While it is nearly impossible to remove fat completely from the diet, it would be unhealthy to do so. Some fatty acids are essential nutrients, meaning that they can't be produced in the body from other compounds and need to be consumed in small amounts. All other fats required by the body are non-essential and can be produced in the body from other compounds. Fat in the body acts as food storage and protection for various organs.
