Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12446771, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16782875}. Nucleus {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00981, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12446771, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16782875}. Mitochondrion outer membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12446771, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16782875}. Note=Predominantly cytoplasmic but shuttles between cytoplasm and nucleus when associated with MLX. Also associates with the outer mitochondrial membrane and may shuttle between the outer mitochondrial membrane and the nucleus. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q2VPU4, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12446771, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16782875}.
