Cytoplasm. Nucleus envelope {Experimental EvidencePubMed:22270916}. Nucleus membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, phragmoplast. Note=Localized in patchy areas at the nuclear envelope (NE) of interphase cells. Concentrates at the preprophase band (PPB) and remains associated with the cortical division site (CDS) during mitosis and cytokinesis. During mitosis, associates with mitotic spindles at the anaphase. Associated to the microtubular phragmoplast and the surface of the daughter nuclei at the telophase.
The nuclear envelope is a membrane system which surrounds the nucleoplasm of eukaryotic cells. It is composed of the nuclear lamina, nuclear pore complexes and two nuclear membranes. The space between the two membranes is called the nuclear intermembrane space.
The membrane surrounding the nucleus. This term is used when it is not known if the protein is found in or associated with the inner or outer nuclear membrane.
