Getting molecules in and out of the nucleus is a critical function of eukaryotic cells. The task is performed by the nuclear pore complex (NPC), a massive protein complex (estimated at 125 MD in vertebrates) that spans the nuclear envelope and allows diffusion of small molecules but tightly controls
