Tissue SpecificityHighly expressed in testis, where it is localized in germ cells, in particular in spermatocytes and in the pre-acrosome of round spermatids. Detected in the acrosome of ejaculated spermatozoa. Detected in adult thymus, bone marrow, colon, small intestine, appendix and placenta, and in fetal liver and thymus. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10980622, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12087463, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12618768}.

Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore. Note=Weakly expressed in interphase nuclei. Expression increases from prophase to late anaphase, but greatly diminishes from the telophase and cytokinesis to early G1 phase of cell cycle.
