translocates
Shifts to another
Translocates means moves something from one place to another, typically used in scientific contexts.
In biology, cells translocate proteins across membranes, and plants translocate nutrients from roots to leaves.
In genetics, a chromosome segment may translocate to a different chromosome.
The word appears occasionally in general contexts but sounds technical: The company translocated its headquarters to Denver.
