Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17485331}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriole {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17485331}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriolar satellite {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28775150}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, cilium basal body {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17485331}. Note=Localizes to centrioles in proliferative cells and basal bodies in ciliated cells (PubMed:17485331). Disappears during ciliogenesis but reappears, albeit at a lower levels once ciliogenesis has completed (PubMed:28775150). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17485331, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28775150}.;
[Isoform 1]: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriolar satellite {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28775150}. Note=Not present in the centrioles in cycling cells. Disappears during ciliogenesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28775150}.;
[Isoform 6]: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriolar satellite {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28775150}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriole {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28775150}. Note=Disappears during ciliogenesis but reappears, albeit at a lower levels once ciliogenesis has completed. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28775150}.
