Cytoplasmic vesicle, phagosome membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8K3G9}. Note=Early endosomal membrane-bound and nuclear (PubMed:15016378). Translocated into the nucleus upon release from endosomal membranes following internalization of EGF (PubMed:15016378). Associates dynamically with cytoplasmic membrane structures that undergo changes in shape, movement, fusion and fission events (PubMed:18034774). PI(4,5)P2 levels are important for membrane association of APPL2 (PubMed:18034774). Absent of endosome in macrophage. Colocalized with RAB31 at early-stage phagosome (By similarity). Localized on macropinosomes in LPS-activated macrophages. Associated with membrane domains in contact with pathogens and pathogen-derived ligands like LPS. First recruited to the ruffles, and accumulates on macropinosomes (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8K3G9, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15016378, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18034774}.
