Widely expressed in the brain (PubMed:9645480, PubMed:10403379, PubMed:12949241). Expressed weakly in the kidney, liver and fetal heart (PubMed:12949241). Expressed in melanocytes (PubMed:23999003).
Cytoplasm. Cell membrane. Endosome. Cytoplasmic vesicle, clathrin-coated vesicle. Perikaryon. Cell projection, dendrite. Mainly cytoplasmic in absence of calcium. Associated predominantly with membranes in presence of calcium. Translocates to the cell membrane in a calcium-dependent manner. Colocalized with transferrin in intracellular clathrin-coated membrane vesicles in a calcium-dependent manner.
