| Subcellular location [CC] | [Isoform 1]: Nucleus. Nucleus, nucleolus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15161910}. Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14654843, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26220856}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore. Chromosome, centromere {ECO:0000250}. Note=STK3/MST2 and SAV1 are required for its targeting to the centrosome. Colocalizes with SGO1 and MAD1L1 at the kinetochore. Not associated with kinetochore in the interphase but becomes associated with it upon the breakdown of the nuclear envelope. Has a nucleolar targeting/ retention activity via a coiled-coil domain at the C-terminal end.; [Isoform 2]: Cytoplasm. Note=Predominantly cytoplasmic.; [Isoform 4]: Nucleus. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Note=Predominantly nuclear. |
