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.
Binds to conventional NLS motifs and mediates nuclear protein import across the nuclear envelope (By similarity). Acts as cellular receptor for the nuclear import of the virD2 protein of Agrobacterium, but is not essential for Agrobacterium-mediated root transformation (PubMed:18836040). {By
