| ubiquitin |
A 76-amino-acid protein that can be covalently attached to specific lysine residues in target proteins. This often forms multimeric polyubiquitin chains, which is thought to target the protein for destruction.

| ubiquitin |
Ubiquitin is associated with proteins that are about to break down. Their usual function is probably to protect proteins. In many dementias an accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins is found--for example, in Lewy bodies.
