Highly expressed in testis and thymus and weakly in liver, spleen, kidney and brain.
Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Chromosome. Predominantly nuclear (PubMed:15146062). Phosphorylation at Ser-967 by CDK2 during the G1/S transition results in its nuclear export into the cytoplasm as cells approach and progress through S phase (PubMed:15146062). Following DNA damage, recruited to sites of double-strand breaks by the RPA complex (PubMed:26774285). Recruited to chromatin following DNA damage induced by UV irradiation, or camptothecin or hydroxyurea treatment (PubMed:22194613).
