Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus {ECO:0000305}. Chromosome, telomere {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28082411, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28500257}. Note=Directly binds the telomeric double-stranded 5'-TTAGGG-3' repeat (PubMed:28500257, PubMed:28082411). According to a report, preferentially binds to long telomeres that have a low concentration of shelterin complex, competing with the telomeric repeat binding factors TERF1 and TERF2 (PubMed:28082411). According to another report, binds telomeres regardless of their length (PubMed:28500257). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28082411, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28500257}.
