Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18832586}. Lipid droplet {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9DBL9}. Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9DBL9}. Note=Colocalized with PLIN and ADRP on the surface of lipid droplets. The localization is dependent upon the metabolic status of the adipocytes and the activity of PKA (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
