Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17709747}. Preautophagosomal structure membrane;
Peripheral membrane protein. Note=Colocalizes with nonmuscle actin. The conjugate detaches from the membrane immediately before or after autophagosome formation is completed (By similarity). Localizes also to discrete punctae along the ciliary axoneme and to the base of the ciliary axoneme. {ECO:0000250}.
