Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21209915, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22692423, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30733432}.

Note=When nutrients are present, phosphorylation by MTOR prevents nuclear translocation and activity (PubMed:22692423, PubMed:30733432). Conversely, inhibition of mTORC1, starvation and lysosomal disruption, promotes dephosphorylation and translocation to the nucleus (PubMed:22692423, PubMed:30733432). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22692423, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30733432}.
