Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus inner membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16339967, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17097643, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28242692, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30905398, ECO:0000269|PubMed:32494070};
Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16339967}. Nucleus envelope {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28242692}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle {ECO:0000269|PubMed:32494070}. Note=Lamina-associated protein residing in the inner nuclear membrane (INM) of the nuclear envelope (NE) (PubMed:16339967). The localization to the INM is dependent on LMNA (PubMed:16339967). Evenly distributed around the NE during interphase (PubMed:16339967). During metaphase, found in a reticular network (PubMed:28242692). Recruited to the reforming NE on chromatin disks in early anaphase (PubMed:28242692). In late anaphase, concentrates at the NE core proximal to spindle microtubules, and then broadening to a distributed nuclear rim pattern (PubMed:28242692, PubMed:32494070). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16339967, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28242692, ECO:0000269|PubMed:32494070}.
