Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriole {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25673876}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, cilium basal body {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25673876}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, cilium axoneme {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25673876}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25673876}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, flagellum axoneme {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25673876}. Note=In multi-ciliated cells, localizes to the basal bodies and in non-ciliated cells, to the centrosome. In spermatozoa, colocalizes with microtubules along the length of the axoneme from its proximal end to its distal tip and with tubulin at the distal end of the flagellum and at the proximal centriole. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25673876}.
