Subcellular location [CC]Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20230531}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22321063}. Note=Exported from cells by an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)/Golgi-independent mechanism. Unconventional secretion of FGF2 occurs by direct translocation across the plasma membrane (PubMed:20230531). Binding of exogenous FGF2 to FGFR facilitates endocytosis followed by translocation of FGF2 across endosomal membrane into the cytosol (PubMed:22321063). Nuclear import from the cytosol requires the classical nuclear import machinery, involving proteins KPNA1 and KPNB1, as well as CEP57 (PubMed:22321063). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20230531, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22321063}.
