Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19158340, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8650580}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17177976, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8650580}. Nucleus, nucleolus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8650580}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26497934}. Note=Colocalizes with DLC1 at actin-rich regions in the cell periphery (PubMed:19158340). Translocates together with ZPR1 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and nucleolus after treatment with mitogens (PubMed:8650580). Localization at the cell membrane depends on EEF1A1 phosphorylation status and the presence of PPP1R16B (PubMed:26497934). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19158340, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26497934, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8650580}.
