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.
Required for early signal transduction events leading to endosymbiosis. Acts early in a signal transduction chain leading from the perception of Nod factor to the activation of calcium spiking. Also involved in mycorrhizal symbiosis. May be involved in the regulation of the calcium channel responsible for calcium spiking by mobilizing another cation, and thereby altering the membrane potential. {Experimental EvidencePubMed:17631529}.
