[Isoform 1]: Membrane; Single-pass membrane protein.; [Isoform 2]: Cytoplasm. Endoplasmic reticulum. Localized to the cell body of the cochlear hair cells, but is not present in the stereocilia (PubMed:28504928). Present but not restricted to the apical cistern, Hensen's body and the subsurface cistern (By similarity).
