Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00981}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Note=The NLS contained in the bHLH domain could be masked in the native form and translocation to the nucleus could be mediated by interaction either with class E bHLH partner protein or with NKX2-2. {ECO:0000250}.
