Subcellular location [CC]Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17005010, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29300766};
Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17005010}. Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000305};
Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:E9QAT4}. Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17428803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21768384}. Microsome membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17428803}. Note=SAR1A activity is required to maintain SEC16A localization at discrete locations on the ER membrane perhaps by preventing its dissociation (PubMed:17192411). Localizes to endoplasmic reticulum exit sites (ERES), also known as transitional endoplasmic reticulum (tER). MIA3 and LRRK2 are required for its proper localization to ERES (PubMed:25201882, PubMed:28442536, PubMed:19638414, PubMed:17428803, PubMed:22355596). Recruited to microsomal membrane in SAR1-dependent manner (PubMed:17428803). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17192411, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17428803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19638414, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22355596, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25201882, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28442536}.
