Cell membrane. Membrane, clathrin-coated pit. Golgi apparatus. Cytoplasmic vesicle, clathrin-coated vesicle. Nucleus. Colocalized with clathrin in the Golgi area (PubMed:10436022). Interaction with PIMREG may target PICALM to the nucleus in some cells (PubMed:16491119).
PMID: 8643484 by Dreyling M.H., et al. The t(10;11)(p13;q14) in the U937 cell line results in the fusion of the AF10 gene and CALM, encoding a new member of the AP-3 clathrin assembly protein family.
PMID: 9737689 by Silliman C.C., et al. Alternative splicing in wild-type AF10 and CALM cDNAs and in AF10- CALM and CALM-AF10 fusion cDNAs produced by the t(10;11)(p13-14;q14- q21) suggests a potential role for truncated AF10 polypeptides.
