Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16906129, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16963499, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17159994, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22118463}. Nucleus, nucleolus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17159994}. Note=Colocalizes with nucleolin and DROSHA in the nucleolus. Mostly detected in the nucleolus as electron-dense granular patches around the fibrillar center (FC) and granular component (GC). Also detected in the nucleoplasm as small foci adjacent to splicing speckles near the chromatin structure. Localized with DROSHA in GW bodies (GWBs), also known as P-bodies (PubMed:17159994).
