Ubiquitin: A small but extremely important protein that acts the kiss of death to other proteins. Ubiquitin consists of only 76 amino acids.In the normal course of events, proteins are inactivated by the attachment of ubiquitin to them, a process called ubiquitination. Ubiquitin acts as a tag by which the protein-transport machinery ferries a protein to the proteasome for degradation.Antagonizing this process are enzymes that remove ubiquitin from proteins. Ubiquitin is appropriately named since it is ubiquitous and is present in virtually all types of cells.biquitin acts as a tag by which the protein-transport machinery ferries a protein to the proteasome for degradation.

Answer by Alex Hughes-Walton. Confidence votes 6.

Aside from a few stray white hairs, she can still pass for half her age.She runs like a gazelle, dances, etc.nswer by Alex Hughes-Walton. Confidence votes 6.

Please let me know how busters treatment has gone. I have a 14 yr old jack Russell that will very possibly be diagnosed tomorrow when bloodwork comes back. He has a bad heart Murmor and a collapsing trachea and bladder stones (for the 4th time). I don't know what options we will have with all of these ailments.
