Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9889097}. Synapse {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5BJU7}. Cell junction, focal adhesion {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18559503}. Note=Dot-like pattern in the cytoplasm. Concentrated in Rac-regulated membrane-ruffling areas (PubMed:9889097). Partial translocation to focal adhesion sites might be mediated by interaction with SORBS2 (PubMed:18559503). In neurons, colocalizes with activated NTRK2 after BDNF addition in endocytic sites through the association with TMEM108 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8R5H6, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18559503, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9889097}.
