Proton hexality is a discrete symmetry ensuring the stability of the proton under dimension four and five interactions. We discuss the embedding of proton hexality into Grand Unified Theories. This leads naturally to the concept of extra dimensions and string theory. This talk is based on a collaboration with results to be published shortly [1].
