Proteins are used for making structures in cells including actin filaments, spectrin tetramers, and intermediate filaments. Proteins are packaged into vesicles (protein-carrying sacks) at the Golgi aparatus and are then shipped off. Things called motor proteins attach to the vesicles and transport them across the network of microtubules (highway-like structures) towards the centrosome (the center of the microtubule network). The vesicles will at some point turn inside out, spilling all the proteins they contained. These proteins will float away and be used for construction the structures.

In simpler text, proteins are used to make the structures inside of a cell such as actin filaments, spectrin tetramers, and intermediate filaments. For info on these structures, just Google them.
