Note=In the nucleolus may be more specifically localized to the fibrillar center (PubMed:27729611). Mainly nucleolar it relocalizes to the nucleoplasm under specific conditions including ribosomal stress enabling it to interact and regulate nucleoplasmic proteins like p53/TP53 (PubMed:22522597, PubMed:24923447, PubMed:27323397, PubMed:26903295). Also detected in the cytosol (PubMed:24923447, PubMed:27824081). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22522597, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24923447, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26903295, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27323397, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27729611, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27824081}.
