What is a nuclear envelope
A major hallmark of eukaryotic cells is that they store their genetic material in the nucleus, a compartment that is separate from the cytosol. The nuclear envelope is the double membrane structure that surrounds the nucleus in eukaryotic cells and provides this compartmentalization. structure and functions
The nuclear envelope is made up of a double membrane structure that provides a barrier between the nuclear contents and the cytosol: the inner nuclear membrane and outer nuclear membrane. They're connected together, but their protein compositions are different. The inner nuclear membrane contains integral and peripheral membrane proteins that anchor the nuclear envelope to the lamina, which is
