Descriptor membrana nuclear
Entry term(s) envoltorio nuclear
Scope note: Sistema de membrana del NÚCLEO CELULAR, que rodea al nucleoplasma. Consta de dos membranas concéntricas separadas por el espacio perinuclear. Las estructuras de la cubierta por donde esta se abre al citoplasma se denominan poros nucleares (PORO NUCLEAR).
