Note=Translocates to the nucleus in response to various signals, such as EGF receptor activation or apoptotic stimuli (PubMed:17308100, PubMed:22056988, PubMed:24120661). Nuclear translocation is promoted by acetylation by EP300 (PubMed:24120661). Deacetylation by SIRT6 promotes its nuclear export in a process dependent of XPO4, thereby suppressing its ability to activate transcription and promote tumorigenesis (PubMed:26787900). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17308100, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22056988, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24120661, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26787900}.;
