Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10671518}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10671518}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, stress fiber {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9QUR2}. Cytoplasm, cell cortex {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9QUR2}. Cytoplasm, myofibril, sarcomere {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8CBY8}. Note=Has a punctate cytoplasmic distribution as well as centrosomal distribution typical of dynactin (PubMed:10671518). Overexpression in cultured mammalian cells revealed colocalization with cortical actin, stress fibers, and focal adhesion sites, sites of potential interaction between microtubules and the cell cortex (By similarity). In skeletal muscles, costamere localization requires the presence of ANK2 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8CBY8, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9QUR2, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10671518}.
