First search for the protein sequence. Got to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/ and find your protein there.
Then go to http://www.expasy.ch/tools/protparam.html and paste your sequence. It will give you the weight amongst other valuable information.
In general you can just multiply the number of residues of a protein by 110 to estimate the molecular weight....

so long
