Facts about Histone RNA hairpin-binding protein.
Plays an important role in targeting older histone mRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and to the translation machinery. Stabilizes mature histone mRNA and could be involved in cell-cycle regulation of histone gene expression.

Widely expressed.
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Polyribosome-associated. Localizes predominantly in the nucleus at the G1/G2 phases and the beginning of S phase. Through the S phase, partially redistributes to the cytoplasm. Binding to histone mRNA is necessary for cytoplasmic localization. Shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Imported in the nucleus by the Importin alpha/Importin beta receptor.
