Subcellular location [CC][Integral membrane protein 2B]: Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14656991, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19114711};
Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10526337}. Note=Immature BRI2 (imBRI2) is cleaved by furin in the Golgi into mBRI2 and a Bri23 peptide. mBRI2 is transported to the plasma membrane and Bri23 peptide is secreted.;
[BRI2, membrane form]: Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18440095, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19748705, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21752865};
Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10526337}. Endosome membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19748705};
Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10526337}. Note=Mature BRI2 (mBRI2) needs to be transported from the endoplasmic reticulum compartment to the cell membrane in order to be able to inhibit APP processing. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19748705}.;
[Bri23 peptide]: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10526337, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14656991, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18524908}. Note=Detected in the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18524908}.;
[BRI2C, soluble form]: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17965014}.
