Subcellular location [CC]Membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11784712};
Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11784712}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23209657}. Nucleus speckle {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23209657}. Cytoplasmic granule {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23209657}. Note=Predominantly cytoplasmic but is also detected in nuclear speckles (PubMed:23209657). Component of cytoplasmic stress granules (PubMed:23209657). Inhibition of methylation alters nuclear localization (PubMed:25748791). Methylation does not seem to be required for localization to stress granules under stress conditions (PubMed:25748791). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23209657, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25748791}.
