Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriole {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26297806}. Note=Shows cell cycle-dependent localization. Accumulates to the spindle pole during mitosis. Colocalizes with CDK5RAP2, CEP152 and WDR62 in a discrete ring around the proximal end of the parental centriole. At this site, a cohesive structure is predicted to engage parental centrioles and procentrioles. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20890278, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26297806}.
