Cytoplasm. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Binds preferentially to negatively charged phospholipids (PubMed:21900240). Colocalizes with CCHFV protein N in the perinuclear region (PubMed:15047845).; [Isoform 2]: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Translocates into the nuclei of HSV-1 infected cells (PubMed:20603636).
