Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q62209}. Chromosome {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q62209}. Chromosome, centromere {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q62209}. Note=In tripartite segments of synaptonemal complexes, between lateral elements in the nucleus. Its N-terminus is found towards the center of the synaptonemal complex while the C-terminus extends well into the lateral domain of the synaptonemal complex (By similarity). Only rarely detected at centromeres during leptotene and zygotene. Detected at centromeres during mid-diplotene, when it is no longer present along chromosome arms. No longer detected at centromeres at later stages of meiosis (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q03410, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q62209}.
