What does «membrana nuclear» mean in Spanish?
- Membrane that envelops the nucleus and separates the nucleoplasm and cytoplasm. It is also known as the nuclear envelope or karyotheca. The nuclear membrane consists of two lipid bilayer membranes that in eukaryotic cells surround the nucleus, which is the envelope of the genetic material. The nuclear envelope consists of two lipid bilayer membranes: an inner and an outer nuclear membrane. The space between the membranes is called the perinuclear space. This space is usually between 20 and 40 nanometers wide.
