Nuclear protein transport.

The nucleus, like all organelles, is composed of a unique set of proteins. This article discusses the possible mechanisms for localization of only certain proteins to the nucleus, transport of proteins across the nuclear envelope, and retention of proteins in the nuclear interior. In addition, nuclear protein transport is compared with transport of proteins into the endoplasmic reticulum and the mitochondria.
