Cytotoxic stress and DNA damage enhance translocation to the nucleus (PubMed:14718551). Localized in cytoplasmic mRNP granules containing untranslated mRNAs (PubMed:25229427). Shuttles between nucleus and cytoplasm (PubMed:25229427). Localized with DDX1, MBNL1 and TIAL1 in stress granules upon stress (PubMed:18335541). Secreted by mesangial and monocytic cells after inflammatory challenges (PubMed:19483673). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12604611, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14718551, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18335541, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19483673, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25229427}.
