Widely expressed. Highest expression is observed in kidney, brain, heart, skeletal muscle, and placenta and lowest expression is observed in colon, thymus, and small intestine.
Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network membrane; Lipid-anchor. Membrane raft. Cell projection, dendrite. Cell junction, synapse, presynaptic cell membrane. Cell junction, synapse, synaptosome. Mitochondrion. Endosome. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Membrane; Lipid-anchor. Cell membrane. Perikaryon. Cell projection, neuron projection. Found in subdomains of the plasma membrane termed non-caveolar membrane rafts. Transported from neuronal cell body to neuron projections and neurite tips in a BLOC-1- and AP-3-complexes-dependent manner.
