Expressed in the cerebellum. Expressed in neurons and glial cells, including layers II neurons in the frontal cortex and CA1 pyramidal neurons in the hippocampus. Expressed in heart, liver, pancreas, skeletal muscle, placenta, primary fibroblasts and peripheral blood monocytes (at protein level). Ubiquitously expressed. Highly expressed in heart, placenta and skeletal muscle. Weakly expressed in pancreas, kidney, liver, lung and brain.
Nucleus. Nucleus, nucleolus. Nucleus speckle. Cytoplasm. Cytoplasmic granule. Undergoes continuous nucleocytoplasmic shuttling. Upon nuclear import colocalizes with SR proteins in nuclear speckles. Arsenite stress-induced phosphorylation increases its subcellular relocalization from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and to cytoplasmic stress granules (SG) via a p38 MAPK signaling pathway. Primarily localized in nucleus and nucleoli under cell growth conditions and accumulated in the cytoplasm and cytoplasm perinuclear granules upon muscle cell differentiation.
