Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14654843}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03141}. Nucleus membrane {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03141}. Note=Redistributes to axons during neuronal development. Also localizes to the microtubules of the manchette in elongating spermatids and to the meiotic spindle in spermatocytes (By similarity). Localizes to the plus end of microtubules and to the centrosome. May localize to the nuclear membrane. {ECO:0000250}.
