[[Nucleoporin|Nucleoporins]] (NUP) are constituents of the nuclear pore complex which regulates the flow of macromolecules across the nuclear envelope. They are named according to their molecular weights. They contain a domain which binds the protein RAN (RANBD). | [[Nucleoporin|Nucleoporins]] (NUP) are constituents of the nuclear pore complex which regulates the flow of macromolecules across the nuclear envelope.
