Expressed in platelets (at protein level).
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endomembrane system; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endosome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell junction, synapse. Cell junction, focal adhesion. Could be part of recycling endosomes (PubMed:18227069, PubMed:16870614). Density of transporter molecules on the plasma membrane is itself regulated by STX1A (By similarity). Density of transporter molecules on the plasma membrane is also regulated by serotonin (PubMed:17506858) (PubMed:18227069). Density of transporter molecules seems to be modulated by ITGAV:ITGB3 (By similarity).
