Cytoplasmic vesicle. Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network. Cytoplasm. Accumulates specifically at the basal body and ciliary necklace during the early steps of cilia assembly and disassembly, when structural, functional and regulatory proteins are delivered to cilia. At S phase, accumulates in vesicles and declines during mitosis.
