Tissue SpecificityMainly expressed in the embryo, including in fetal liver, fetal lung, fetal kidney, fetal thymus (at protein level). Also expressed follicles of ovary, as well as in gonocytes of testis, spermatogonia, semen, oocytes and placenta (at protein level). Expressed in various cancers, including testis and lung cancers (at protein level), as well as kidney, prostate and trachea cancers. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12921532, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16049158, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17255263, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9891060}.

Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Cytoplasm, P-body {ECO:0000269|PubMed:29476152}. Cytoplasm, Stress granule {ECO:0000269|PubMed:29476152}. Cell projection, lamellipodium. Cell projection, dendrite {ECO:0000250}. Cell projection, dendritic spine {ECO:0000250}. Cell projection, growth cone. Cell projection, filopodium {ECO:0000250}. Cell projection, axon {ECO:0000250}. Note=In the nucleus, located in discrete foci, coinciding with the sites of ACTB transcription (By similarity). In the cytoplasm, localizes in cytoplasmic mRNP granules. Colocalizes with microtubules in growth cone filopodia and along neurites in neuronal cells (By similarity). Cytoplasmic colocalization with ACTB mRNA is partially lost at the cell periphery, suggesting release of the transcript. In neuronal processes, exhibits fast retrograde and anterograde movements, when associated with ACTB mRNA;
this motility is lost when the association is inhibited (By similarity). In hippocampal neurons, predominantly located within dendrites, particularly at dendritic branching points in young cells, compared to axons (By similarity). In axons, predominantly found in axonal branches and their growth cones (By similarity). In motile cells, such as migrating fibroblasts, localizes to leading edges where it colocalizes with microtubules and microfilaments and to retracting tails (By similarity). Dendritic levels are regulated by neuronal activity and glutaminergic signals: they are increased by KCl-induced depolarization, which induces rapid efflux from the cell body into dendrites, and decreased by the NMDA receptor agonist (By similarity). In motile cells, transported towards the leading edge into the cortical region of the lamellipodia where it is connected to microfilaments (By similarity). In response to cellular stress, such as oxidative stress or heat shock, recruited to stress granules, but not to processing bodies. {ECO:0000250}.
