Almost ubiquitous. Detected in fetal brain, lung, liver and kidney; in adult heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, spleen, thymus, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine and colon. Not detected in peripheral blood leukocytes. In brain, restricted to post- mitotic neurons.
Perikaryon. Nucleus. Neural perikarya, translocates to the nucleus of postmitotic neurons and interacts with the nuclear matrix.
