Widely expressed with highest levels in adult liver, kidney, heart and skeletal muscle.
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Cell membrane. Endosome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Membrane, clathrin-coated pit. Cell junction, synapse. Translocated from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane in a CIB1-dependent manner (PubMed:19854831). Binds to membranes containing negatively charged lipids but not neutral lipids (PubMed:24929359). Recruited to endocytic membranes by sphingosine where promotes membrane fusion (By similarity).
