Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16541025}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16541025}. Chromosome, centromere {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16541025}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16541025}. Note=In prometaphase cells, but not in anaphase cells, localizes at centromeres (PubMed:16541025). During mitosis, also found at spindle poles (PubMed:16541025). Centromeric localization requires the presence of SGO2 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P63330, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16541025}.
