Double membrane forming the surface boundary of a eukaryotic nucleus; consists of outer and inner membranes perforated by nuclear pores.
A barrier that encloses the nucleus and is made up of two membranes perforated by nuclear pores.
The double membrane that surrounds the nucleus.
Nuclear membrane (S) Similar to that of vertebrates, the nuclear envelope of C. elegans has two concentric membranes (outer and inner) that enclose a lumenal space. Nuclear pore complexes mediate bidirectional transport between the nucleus and cytoplasm and a laminar network ( Liu et al., 2000, Gruenbaum, 2002) provides support and for the proper segregation of the chromosomes ( Oegema and Hyman, 2006). During mitosis, the nuclear envelope goes through a cycle of breakdown and reassembly. See Lamin
Double-membrane structure surrounding the nucleus; the outer membrane is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum and the two membranes are perforated by nuclear pores. ( Figures 5-42 and 5-50)
The nuclear envelope (also known as the perinuclear envelope, nuclear membrane, nucleolemma or karyotheca) is the double membrane of the nucleus that encloses genetic material in eukaryotic cells. It separates the contents of the nucleus (DNA in particular) from the cytosol.
