Tissue Specificity[Isoform a]: Isoform a is expressed in CNS, but is expressed predominantly in the peripherical tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12533095}.;
[Isoform b]: Isoform b is expressed in CNS (PubMed:12533095). Also highly expressed in the frontal lobe, skeletal muscle and spinal cord and is expressed at a lower level in the lung, lymphoblast and intestine (PubMed:12533095). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12533095}.

Subcellular location [CC][Isoform a]: Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12533095, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16314424, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22100762}. Nucleus, nucleolus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10441328}. Nucleus matrix {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10441328}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22100762}. Note=In addition to a diffuse distribution throughout the nucleus, it is associated with the nuclear matrix and the nucleolus (PubMed:10441328). It is able to shuttle between the nucleus and cytoplasm (PubMed:16314424). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10441328, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16314424}.;
