Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Nucleus {ECO:0000250}. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000250};
Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250};
Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000250}. Nucleus, nuclear pore complex {ECO:0000250}. Note=Hypusine modification promotes the nuclear export and cytoplasmic localization and there was a dynamic shift in the localization from predominantly cytoplasmic to primarily nuclear under apoptotic inducing conditions. {ECO:0000250}.
