Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15456787}. Endoplasmic reticulum {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15215856}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23042605, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26842564}. Cytoplasm, Stress granule {ECO:0000269|PubMed:29804830}. Note=Present in the neuronal hyaline inclusion bodies specifically found in motor neurons from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients (PubMed:15456787). Present in the Lewy bodies specifically found in neurons from Parkinson disease patients (PubMed:15456787). Recruited to the cytoplasmic surface of the endoplasmic reticulum via interaction with AMFR/gp78 (PubMed:16168377). Following DNA double-strand breaks, recruited to the sites of damage (PubMed:22120668). Recruited to stalled replication forks via interaction with SPRTN (PubMed:23042605). Recruited to damaged lysosomes decorated with K48-linked ubiquitin chains (PubMed:27753622). Colocalizes with TIA1, ZFAND1 and G3BP1 in cytoplasmic stress granules (SGs) in response to arsenite-induced stress treatment (PubMed:29804830). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15456787, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16168377, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22120668, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23042605, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27753622, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29804830}.
