Dispersed throughout the cytoplasm upon breakdown of the nuclear envelope during mitosis (PubMed:10579713). Colocalizes with the centralspindlin complex to the mitotic spindles during anaphase/metaphase, the cleavage furrow during telophase and at the midbody at the end of cytokinesis (PubMed:10579713). Colocalized with RhoA at the midbody (PubMed:10579713). Its subcellular localization to tight junction is increased by calcium (PubMed:15254234). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10579713, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15254234}.
