Expressed at high levels in the brain and pancreas. In the brain, expression is highest in the substantia nigra, locus coruleus and medulla oblongata.

Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Membrane raft. Lysosome. Late endosome. Early endosome. Recycling endosome. Cell projection, axon. Cell projection, dendrite. Predominantly localized to the later Golgi/trans-Golgi network (TGN) and minimally detectable in the early Golgi compartments. A small portion is also found in the endoplasmic reticulum, endosomes and on the cell surface (PubMed:17425515, PubMed:11466313). Colocalizatio
