Tetraubiquitin protein, molecular model. Ubiquitin is found in all eukaryotic cells. When a protein is damaged or old it will be tagged by several ubiquitin molecules. The protein is then moved to a proteasome, a hollow barrel shaped protein that degrades other proteins into amino acids and small polypeptides.
