Key regulator of hematopoiesis involved with terminal myeloid differentiation and in the regulation of hematopoietic stem cell (HSCs) self-renewal by a mechanism which involves DNA methylation (By similarity). Also functions as an important cell cycle regulator, engaging in cell cycle regulatory system machinery at multiple cell cycle stages including G1/S transition, S phase progression and mitotic entry (PubMed:14718661, PubMed:18573682, PubMed:19264965, PubMed:23629655).

Widely expressed in both adult and fetal tissues (PubMed:12101424, PubMed:23958951). Highest levels of expression observed in fetal thymus and kidney and in adult hematopoietic tissues, jejunum and cerebellum (PubMed:12101424, PubMed:23958951). Isoform NKp44L: Not detected on circulating cells from healthy individuals, but is expressed on a large panel of tumor and transformed cells (PubMed:23958951).
Chromosome. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Nucleus speckle. Absent from the nucleolus (PubMed:14718661). Localizes to chromosome during interphase and to centrosomes during mitosis (PubMed:23798402). Dissociation from mitotic chromosome is likely due to histone H3 phosphorylation on 'Thr-3' and 'Thr-6' (PubMed:23798402).; [Isoform 3]: Nucleus, nucleoplasm. Nucleus speckle. Absent from the nucleolus (PubMed:23629655). Localizes to chromosome during interphase and to nucleus speckle during mitosis (PubMed:23798402). Dissociation from mitotic chromosome is lik
