Are you talking about the sodium / potassium pump that is used to set up a potential across a cell membrane?

I assume that you mean motor proteins such as myosin, or dynein, or kinesin, etc. They move along fibers created from other proteins such as microtubules or intermediate filaments. All cells use these type of motor proteins, the two best examples being the myosin associated with muscle contraction, and the motor proteins involved in axonal transport in neurons.
