Protoplasm that permeates a cell's nucleus / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The nucleoplasm is a type of protoplasm that makes up the cell nucleus, the most prominent organelle of the eukaryotic cell. It is enclosed by the nuclear envelope, also known as the nuclear membrane.[1] The nucleoplasm resembles the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell in that it is a gel-like substance found within a membrane, although the nucleoplasm only fills out the space in the nucleus and has its own unique functions. The nucleoplasm suspends structures within the nucleus that are not membrane-bound and is responsible for maintaining the shape of the nucleus.[1] The structures suspended in the nucleoplasm include chromosomes, various enzymes, nuclear bodies, the nucleolus, nucleoporins, nucleotides, and nuclear speckles.[1] Nucleoplasm is also known as karyoplasm,[2][3] karyolymph or nucleus sap. The soluble, liquid portion of the nucleoplasm is called the nucleosol[4] or nuclear hyaloplasm.
