Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23535298}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23535298}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23535298}. Note=Localizes to the centrosome in interphase cells and begins to translocate from the spindle pole to the spindle midzone after the onset of mitosis;
it then localizes to the intercellular bridge in telophase cells and to the midbody in cytokinetic cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23535298}.
