Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12966089, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16215984}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16215984}. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16215984}. Mitochondrion {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20413593}. Note=DNA damage induces an increase in nuclear levels. Accumulates in DNA damage induced nuclear foci or RAD51C foci which is formed during the S or G2 phase of cell cycle. Accumulation at DNA lesions requires the presence of NBN/NBS1, ATM and RPA.
