The nuclear membrane has pores that permit the selective transport of molecules such as RNA and proteins into and out of the nucleus. These nuclear pore complexes are large assemblies of proteins (nucleoporins) that regulate transport through signal-mediated mechanisms, allowing molecules with specific nuclear localization or export signals to pass while restricting others, thereby maintaining compartmentalization and coordinated gene expression.
