Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17135265, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21548011, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22106042, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23071339}. Note=In resting lymphocytes, distributed diffusely throughout the nucleus. Localizes to pericentromeric heterochromatin in proliferating cells. This localization requires DNA binding which is regulated by phosphorylation / dephosphorylation events. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17135265, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22106042}.;
[Isoform Ik2]: Nucleus. Note=In resting lymphocytes, distributed diffusely throughout the nucleus. Localizes to pericentromeric heterochromatin in proliferating cells. This localization requires DNA binding which is regulated by phosphorylation / dephosphorylation events (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.;
[Isoform Ik6]: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}.
