May contribute to the institution of the heterochromatin with the inner nuclear membrane through its interaction with lamin B receptor (LBR). Involved in the creation of functional kinetochore through interaction with MIS12 complicated proteins.

Nucleus. Associates with euchromatin and is largely excluded from constitutive heterochromatin. May be associated with microtubules and mitotic poles during mitosis (Potential).
