Note=Localizes to the cytoplasm where it has been shown to transform MCF-12A mammary epithelial cells via a novel cytoplasmic mechanism. Also transiently expressed and localized to the nucleus where it induces apoptosis in non-transformed breast epithelial cells MCF-10A and MCF-12A via a transcription-dependent mechanism. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10391676, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15169914, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17060315}.
