Cell junction, synapse, presynapse. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, synaptic vesicle membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Enriched in chromaffin granules, not present in adrenal microsomes. Associated with both insulin granules and synaptic-like microvesicles in insulin-secreting cells of the pancreas (By similarity). Colocalizes with ATP2B1 at photoreceptor synaptic terminals.
