Ubiquitous.
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type IV membrane protein. Cell membrane; Single-pass type IV membrane protein. Cell junction, tight junction. Nucleus membrane. Present in the plasma membrane and in intracellular vesicles, together with SNARE proteins. May also associate with the cytoskeleton. Colocalizes with OCLN at the tight junction in polarized epithelial cells.
PMID: 10523508 by Lapierre L.A., et al. VAP-33 localizes to both an intracellular vesicle population and with occludin at the tight junction.
