title: [The ubiquitin system--structure and function].
abstract: Current opinions connected with the role and significance of ubiquitous proteins--ubiquitins (Ub) were discussed. Genetic determination of ubiquitins and their expression in nature were considered. Thymic ubiquitin complex, as an extract from calf thymus gland (TFX) was also presented. Very important biological activities in some experimental models and usefulness of TFX in medical practice were presented.
