Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16980960}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, cilium basal body {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24680887}. Note=Localizes to centrosomes throughout the cell cycle. After centrosome duplication, it usually remains associated only with the mother centrosome, containing the older mature centriole and particles surrounding it. During prophase, additional particles accumulate around both separating centrosomes. Does not accumulate at the microtubule minus ends, but instead localizes to the centrosomes and centrosome-surrounding area in a microtubule-independent and dependent manner, respectively. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24680887}.
