Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus, nucleoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14729065, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21060799}. Nucleus, nucleolus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21060799}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21060799, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24498420}. Note=Mainly found throughout the nucleoplasm outside of regions containing heterochromatic DNA, with some localization in nucleolus. During mitosis, excluded from the nucleus and reappears in the telophase of the cell cycle. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21060799}.
