Participates in erythroblastic island creation, that is the practical unit of definitive erythropoiesis. Associates with F-actin to regulate actin distribution in erythroblasts and macrophages.

Ubiquitous.
Cytoplasm. Nucleus, nucleoplasm. Nucleus matrix. Cell membrane. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Detected in a nuclear, speckled-like pattern (PubMed:16510120). Localized with condensed chromatin at prophase; Detected in nuclear spindle poles at metaphase and in the contractile ring during telophase and cytokinesis (PubMed:16510120). Present in cytoplasm, nuclear matrix and at the cell surface in macrophages; predominantly nuclear in immature macrophages and predominantly detected at the cell surface in mature macrophages. Colocalizes with F-actin in macrophages (By similarity).
