Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12080473}. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8K3W3}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12080473, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28502770, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29301961}. Nucleus speckle {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16170325}. Cytoplasm, Stress granule {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17652158}. Cytoplasm, Cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8K3X0}. Cell projection, dendrite {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8K3X0}. Note=Shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm in a XPO1/CRM1-dependent manner. Transported to the cytoplasm as part of the exon junction complex (EJC) bound to mRNA (PubMed:15166247). In nuclear speckles, colocalizes with MAGOH. Under stress conditions, colocalizes with FMR1 and TIA1, but not MAGOH and RBM8A EJC core factors, in cytoplasmic stress granules (PubMed:17652158). In the dendrites of hippocampal neurons, localizes to dendritic ribonucleoprotein granules (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8K3X0, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15166247, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17652158}.
