Proton emission is described using a model which has previously given good results in the description of 
and cluster radioactivity. The simple phenomenological formalism, based on the Gamow theory for alpha decay, is now extended by including the centrifugal term. The model contains only one parameter: the effective nuclear radius constant. Its value was once found for alpha and cluster emitters. A good agreement with the experimental half-lives for proton radioactivity is achieved without any additional fitting procedures to the data for proton emission.
