Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16221671}. Cell projection, dendrite {ECO:0000250}. Synapse, synaptosome {ECO:0000250}. Note=Enriched in synaptoneurosomes (By similarity). Shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm in a CRM1-dependent manner. Colocalizes throughout the cytoplasm in granules with polyadenylated RNAs, PABPC1 and STAU1. Also frequently colocalizes in cytoplasmic stress granule-like foci with ELAVL1, TIA1 and TIAL1. {ECO:0000250}.
