Ribosome-binding protein involved in ribosome hibernation: associates with translationally inactive ribosomes and stabilizes the nonrotated conformation of the 80S ribosome, thereby promoting ribosome preservation and storage . Also required for proper progression of late cytokinetic stages .
Subcellular locations: Cytoplasm, Cytoskeleton, Microtubule organizing center, Centrosome, Midbody
Colocalizes with gamma-tubulin at interphase, prophase, metaphase, and anaphase. Relocates from centrosome to midbody at telophase.
Ubiquitously expressed.
