In one minute, each NPC is estimated to import 60,000 protein molecules into the nucleus, while exporting 50–250 mRNA molecules, 10–20 ribosomal subunits, & 1000 tRNAs out of the nucleus.

An NPC is made up of many copies of some 30 different proteins called nucleoporins.

Eight approximately 100-nm long filaments extend into the nucleoplasm with the distal ends of these filaments joined by a terminal ring, forming a structure called the nuclear basket.

The nucleoporins are of three types: 

a. Structural nucleoporins

b. Membrane nucleoporins

c. FG-nucleoporins

A set of seven structural nucleoporins forms a Y-shaped structure about the size of the ribosome, known as the Y complex.

A structural motif repeated several times within the Y-complex is closely related to a structure found in the COPII proteins that drive the formation of coated vesicles within cells.
