Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9ES74}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17586473}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19414596}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17101132, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17586473}. Note=Present at centrosome throughout the cell cycle (PubMed:17586473). Also detected at spindle midzone of the anaphase cells and eventually concentrates at the midbody (PubMed:17586473). Interaction with ANKS3 prevents its translocation to the nucleus (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9ES74, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17586473}.
