Binds to poly-U components and AU-rich elements (AREs) in the 3'-UTR of target mRNAs (PubMed:8626503, PubMed:17632515, PubMed:18285462, PubMed:23519412, PubMed:14731398). Binds avidly to the AU-rich element in FOS and IL3/interleukin-3 mRNAs.

Ubiquitous. Detected in brain, liver, thymus and muscle.
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Cytoplasm, Stress granule. Translocates into the cytoplasm following phosphorylation by MAPKAPK2 (PubMed:14517288). Likewise, phosphorylation by PRKCD promotes translocation from the nucleus into the cytoplasm, where it is associated with free and cytoskeleton-bound polysomes (PubMed:18285462).Localizes to the stress granules in the presence of PLEKHN1 (By similarity).
