 The nuclear lamina is composed mostly of lamin proteins . Like all proteins , lamins are synthesized in the cytoplasm and later transported to the nucleus interior , where they are assembled before being incorporated into the existing network of nuclear lamina . <unk> found on the <unk> face of the membrane , such as <unk> and <unk> , bind to the cytoskeleton to provide structural support . <unk> are also found inside the nucleoplasm where they form another regular structure , known as the <unk> veil , that is visible using fluorescence microscopy . The actual function of the veil is not clear , although it is excluded from the nucleolus and is present during interphase . <unk> structures that make up the veil , such as <unk> , bind chromatin and disrupting their structure inhibits transcription of protein @-@ coding genes .
