Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17140400}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:32073997}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q7TMK6}. Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network {ECO:0000269|PubMed:32073997}. Note=Colocalizes with aggresomes, which are aggregates of misfolded proteins, at the centrosome (PubMed:17540036). Also localizes to punctate cytoplasmic foci which do not appear to overlap with early or late endosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum, multivesicular bodies (MVBs), lysosome, or mitochondria (PubMed:17540036, PubMed:32073997). Often found in close association with microtubules (PubMed:17540036). Localizes to the manchette in elongating spermatids (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q7TMK6, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17540036, ECO:0000269|PubMed:32073997}.
