Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19208764}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18663142, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19208764}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18663142, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19208764}. Note=During mitosis it is strictly associated with the spindle pole and with the mitotic spindle, whereas during S and G2, it is diffusely distributed throughout the nucleus. Is released from the nucleus in apoptotic cells and is detected on apoptotic microtubules. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19208764}.
