Subcellular location [CC][Sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2]: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12202038};
Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255}. Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000303|PubMed:28849786};
Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255}. Cytoplasmic vesicle, COPII-coated vesicle membrane {ECO:0000303|PubMed:28849786};
Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255}. Note=At high sterol concentrations, the SCAP-SREBP is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (PubMed:32322062). Low sterol concentrations promote recruitment into COPII-coated vesicles and transport of the SCAP-SREBP to the Golgi, where it is processed (PubMed:32322062). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:32322062}.;
[Processed sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2]: Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11477106, ECO:0000269|PubMed:32322062}. Note=Transported into the nucleus with the help of importin-beta. Dimerization of the bHLH domain is a prerequisite for importin beta-dependent nuclear import. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q3U1N2}.
