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.
Regulates microtubules organization in a centrosome- independent manner. Required for the spindle to be positioned correctly and for the function of gamma-tubulin in organizing phragmoplast microtubules (PubMed:19383896). Component of active gamma-tubulin ring complexes (gamma-TuRCs) associated with cortical microtubules in interphase cells (PubMed:25438942). Mediates gamma-TuRC recruitment to the nucleation sites and is important for determining the ratio of branched to parallel nucleation (PubMed:25438942). May mediate the localization of GCP2 and GCP3 to the nuclear envelope (PubMed:19383896). {Experimental EvidencePubMed:19383896, Experimental EvidencePubMed:25438942}.
