Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriole. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, cilium basal body. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole. Component of both mother and daughter centrioles. Localizes to the basal body and centriole adjacent to the connecting cilium of photoreceptors and in synapses of the outer plexiform layer.
