Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Cell membrane;
Peripheral membrane protein. Early endosome {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q60823}. Note=Localizes within both nucleus and cytoplasm of proliferative primary myoblasts and mostly within the nucleus of differentiated primary myoblasts. By virtue of the N-terminal PH domain, is recruited to sites of the plasma membrane containing increased PI(3,4,5)P3 or PI(3,4)P2, cell membrane targeting is also facilitared by interaction with CLIP3. Colocalizes with WDFY2 in early endosomes (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q60823}.
