Nuclear protein explained

A nuclear protein is a protein found in the cell nucleus.^[1] Proteins are transported inside the nucleus with the help of the nuclear pore complex, which acts a barrier between cytoplasm and nuclear membrane. The import and export of proteins through the nuclear pore complex plays a fundamental role in gene regulation and other biological functions.^{[2] [3]}
