Nuclear pores are protein-based channels in the nuclear envelope. They regulate the movement of molecules from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, and vice versa. In most eukaryotic cells, the nucleus is enclosed by this nuclear membrane in order to separate it from the cytoplasm. Many higher eukaryotic cells have as many as 2,000 nuclear pore complexes in the nuclear membrane of each cell. This membrane or envelope keeps the DNA safe, and contains it within the nucleus.
