Membrane proteins of the inner nuclear membrane (INM) was part of my research project, once upon a time. The nuclear pore complex has eight sided symmetry, with a central channel and eight peripheral routes, probably for membrane proteins. Every mitotic cycle, the nuclear membrane kind of melts into the er and is reformed around the daughter nuclei, probably directed by ranGTP gradient and proteins of the INM.
