Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20940255, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29174768}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:29174768}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20940255}. Note=Mainly localizes to the nucleus. Also localizes to centrosomes in late G1 and around the G1/S transition, coinciding with the onset of centriole formation. Subcellular location may vary depending upon cell differentiation state. Cytoplasmic at the very stages of keratinocyte differentiation, becomes nuclear at later differentiation stages. Cytoplasmic in basal epithelial cells (undifferentiated cells) and nuclear in parabasal cells (differentiated cells) (PubMed:20940255). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20940255, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29174768}.
