Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus, nucleolus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18946085}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18946085}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15561729}. Chromosome, centromere {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20739936}. Note=Localizes on chromosome arms and inner centromeres from prophase through metaphase and then transferring to the spindle midzone and midbody from anaphase through cytokinesis. Colocalizes with SENP3 in the nucleolus in interphase cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18946085}.
