Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O88778}. Presynaptic active zone {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O88778}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O88778}. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, synaptic vesicle membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O88778};
Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O88778}. Note=In retina, is localized in the outer plexiform layer at ribbon synapses formed by rods and cones but was absent from basal synaptic contacts formed by cones. In the retinal inner plexiform layer localized to conventional inhibitory GABAergic synapses, made by amacrine cells, but absent from the bipolar cell ribbon synapses. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O88778}.
