Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18923137, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28383716}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18923137}. Cytoplasm, P-body. Cytoplasmic granule. Synapse. Membrane. Postsynaptic density {ECO:0000250}. Cell projection, dendrite {ECO:0000250}. Note=Continuously shuttling between nucleus and cytoplasm (PubMed:18923137). Also found in stress granules. Recruited to stress granules (SGs) upon arsenite treatment. In dendrites (By similarity). Localizes in synaptosomes at dendritic synapses of neurons (By similarity). Strongly enriched in postsynaptic density (PSD) fractions (By similarity). Transported into dendrites in a microtubule-dependent fashion and colocalizes in mRNA-containing particles with TACC3, dynein and kinesin (By similarity). Membrane-associated (By similarity). Colocalizes at excitatory synapses with members of the polyadenylation and translation complex factors (CPSF, APLP1, TACC3, AURKA, SYP, etc.) including CPE-containing RNAs (By similarity). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18923137}.
