The nuclear envelope is a lipid bilayer that encases the genome and provides a physical boundary betweenthe cytoplasm and the nucleoplasm. While the nucleus is typically depicted as a sphere encircled by a smoothsurface of nuclear envelope, the smooth exterior can be interrupted by tubular invaginations of the nuclearenvelope into the deep nuclear interior. Such structures are termed the ?nucleoplasmic reticulum.?
