Lens as well as other tissues (PubMed:838078, PubMed:2387586). Expressed in myocardial tissue (PubMed:28493373).
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Translocates to the nucleus during heat shock and resides in sub-nuclear structures known as SC35 speckles or nuclear splicing speckles (PubMed:19464326). Localizes at the Z-bands and the intercalated disk in cardiomyocytes (PubMed:28493373).
