Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm {ECO:0000305|PubMed:19168546}. Cytoplasmic granule {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25340845}. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19168546}. Note=The cytoplasmic granules are stress granules which are a dense aggregation in the cytosol composed of proteins and RNAs that appear when the cell is under stress. Colocalizes with NANOS3 in the stress granules. Colocalizes with NANOS1 and SNAPIN in the perinuclear region of germ cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25340845}.
