Colocalizes with coilin in subnuclear cajal and histone locus bodies (PubMed:12686606). Translocates in the LEC complex to cajal and histone locus bodies at snRNA genes in a ICE1-dependent manner. Associates to transcriptionally active chromatin at snRNA genes(PubMed:23932780). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12446457, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12686606, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23932780}.
