Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000305|PubMed:11042181, ECO:0000305|PubMed:16729964}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, stress fiber {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9EP71}. Cytoplasm, cell cortex {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5U312}. Cell junction {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5U312}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16729964}. Note=Associated with the cortical actin cytoskeleton structures in terminal web and cell-cell adhesion sites (By similarity). Highly expressed at the ectoplasmic specialization, an actin-rich cell junction specific to the testis (By similarity). Predominantly nuclear in nonconfluent cells (PubMed:16729964). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5U312, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16729964}.
