Regulates the abundance of compartmentalized pools of its regulatory subunits via phosphorylation of PJA2 which binds and ubiquitinates these subunits, leading to their subsequent proteolysis (PubMed:12420224, PubMed:21423175). Phosphorylates GPKOW which modulates its ability to bind RNA (PubMed:21880142).

Isoform 1 is most abundant in the brain, with low level expression in kidney. Isoform 2 is predominantly expressed in thymus, spleen and kidney. Isoform 3 and isoform 4 are only expressed in the brain.
Cytoplasm. Cell membrane. Membrane; Lipid-anchor. Nucleus. Translocates into the nucleus (monomeric catalytic subunit). The inactive holoenzyme is found in the cytoplasm.
