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.
Involved in the import of nuclear-targeted proteins into the nucleus and the export of poly(A) RNA out of the nucleus. Has a role in the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway (By similarity). {By
