Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00981}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Note=In chronic pancreatitis associated with pancreas cancer preferentially accumulates in the cytoplasm of acinar/ductular complexes. In the cytoplasm loses its ability to form the PTF1 complex (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
