Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11141064, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23229555}. Endoplasmic reticulum {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23229555}. Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9714828}. Note=Translocates from the endoplasmic reticulum to the nucleus during apoptosis (PubMed:23229555). Contradictory reports exist about the subcellular localization under normal physiological conditions. Under conditions of cell death, may diffuse and/or be actively transported to the nucleus. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23229555, ECO:0000305}.
