Wikipedia
Nuclear lamins, also known as Class V intermediate filaments, are fibrous proteins providing structural function and transcriptional regulation in the cell nucleus. Nuclear lamins interact with membrane-associated proteins to form the nuclear lamina on the interior of the nuclear envelope. They are involved in the disassembling and reforming of the nuclear envelope during mitosis, as well as the positioning of nuclear pores.
