Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle {ECO:0000250}. Membrane {ECO:0000250};
Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Nucleus {ECO:0000250}. Cell projection, cilium {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12872123}. Note=Associates with several components of the cytoskeleton including ciliary, random and polarized microtubules. During mitosis, it is recruited to mitotic spindle. Frequently membrane-associated, membrane localization is dependent upon cell-cell contacts and is redistributed when cell adhesion is disrupted after incubation of the cell monolayer with low-calcium/EGTA medium.
