Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasmic granule membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2312733, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2501794};
Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2312733};
Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2312733}. Note=Localizes to azurophil granules of neutrophil granulocytes. Also called primary granules, these specialized lysosomes of the neutrophil formed early during promyelocyte development store antibacterial proteins and peptides. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2312733, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2501794}.
