Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10488337, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19324961, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23826332, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28418038, ECO:0000305|PubMed:18974867}. Nucleus speckle {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19324961, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23826332}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19324961, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28418038}. Note=Colocalizes with the core EJC, ALYREF/THOC4, NXF1 and DDX39B in the nucleus and nuclear speckles. Travels to the cytoplasm as part of the exon junction complex (EJC) bound to mRNA (PubMed:19324961). Localizes to regions surrounding nuclear speckles known as perispeckles in which TREX complex assembly seems to occur (PubMed:23826332). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19324961, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23826332}.
