Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriole {ECO:0000269|PubMed:29021280}. Cytoplasmic vesicle, autophagosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22948227}. Golgi apparatus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24618899}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20638370, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21190936}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20638370, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21190936}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q80Y86}. Note=Co-localizes to the cytoplasm only in presence of ESRRA (PubMed:21190936). Translocates to the nucleus upon activation (PubMed:20638370). At prometaphase I, metaphase I (MI), anaphase I, telophase I, and metaphase II (MII) stages, is stably detected at the spindle (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q80Y86, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20638370, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21190936}.
