Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P11101}. Nucleus, nucleolus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P11101}. Chromosome {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P11101}. Note=Loaded onto the nucleosomes of condensing spermatids (By similarity). Nuclear import is mediated by IPO4. Nucleolar localization requires the protein to be phosphorylated (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P11101, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P11378}.
