Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus. Chromosome. Chromosome, centromere {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27332895}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15938719}. Note=Distributes in the condensed chromosomes during prophase to metaphase. After entering anaphase, there is a dissociation from separated chromosomes and a redistribution to midzone microtubules, and finally remains in the midbody during cytokinesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21531210}.
