Subcellular location [CC]Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:32614325}. Nucleus inner membrane;
Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:34050020}. Note=Retained in the inner nuclear membrane through interaction with EMD and A- and B-lamins. The N- and C-termini are oriented towards the nucleoplasm. The majority of the hydrophilic domain resides in the endoplasmic reticulum lumen (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
