Subcellular location [CC]Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16957052, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27813252};
Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16957052}. Cytoplasmic vesicle, COPII-coated vesicle membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27716508}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27716508, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27784779}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17045351, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21122810, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27784779}. Endosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19864416}. Note=Interaction with RBM22 induces relocalization from the cytoplasm to the nucleus (PubMed:17045351). Translocated from the cytoplasm to the nucleus after heat shock cell treatment. Accumulates in cytoplasmic vesicle-like organelles after heat shock treatment, which may represent stress granules (PubMed:21122810). In response to calcium increase, relocates from cytoplasm to COPII vesicle coat (PubMed:27716508). Localizes to endoplasmic reticulum exit site (ERES) (PubMed:27813252). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17045351, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21122810, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27716508, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27813252}.
