Nucleus . Cytoplasm . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome . Present at centrosome throughout the cell cycle (PubMed:17586473). Also detected at spindle midzone of the anaphase cells and eventually concentrates at the midbody (PubMed:17586473). Interaction with ANKS3 prevents its translocation to the nucleus (By similarity). .
