Facts about Protein bicaudal D homolog 2.
Facilitates the binding of RAB6A into the Golgi by stabilizing its GTP-bound form. Regulates coat complicated coatomer protein I (COPI)-independent Golgi-endoplasmic reticulum transport via its interaction with RAB6A and recruiting of this dynein-dynactin motor complex (PubMed:25962623).

Golgi apparatus. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cytoplasm. Nucleus envelope. Nucleus, nuclear pore complex. In interphase cells mainly localizes to the Golgi complex and colocalizes with dynactin at microtubule plus ends (By similarity). Localizes to the nuclear envelope and cytoplasmic stacks of nuclear pore complex known as annulate lamellae in a RANBP2-dependent manner during G2 phase of the cell cycle (PubMed:20386726).
