Subcellular location [CC]Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q60714};
Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q60714}. Endomembrane system {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q60714};
Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q60714}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q60714}. Note=Plasma membrane and intracellular membranes, at least in adipocytes. In adipocytes, but not myocytes, insulin via the mTORC1 signaling pathway induces a rapid translocation of SLC27A1 from intracellular compartments to the plasma membrane, paralleled by increased LCFA uptake. Insulin-dependent translocation from the cytoplasm to the cell membrane is regulated by EPRS1. Predominantly cytoplasmic in myocytes. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q60714}.
