Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21148294}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21148294, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30878395}. Synapse {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P49185}. Note=In the cortical neurons, predominantly cytoplasmic and associated with the Golgi apparatus and endosomal fraction. Increased neuronal activity increases phosphorylated form at synapses (By similarity). Colocalizes with POU5F1 in the nucleus. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P49185, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q91Y86}.
