Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm. Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11056392, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17451557, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7573041};
Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17451557, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18385291, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20056612};
Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000305}. Cytoplasmic vesicle, COPI-coated vesicle membrane;
Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000305};
Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000305}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20362547}. Endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JIF7}. Note=The coatomer is cytoplasmic or polymerized on the cytoplasmic side of the Golgi, as well as on the vesicles/buds originating from it (By similarity). Proteolytic cleavage by CAPN8 triggers translocation from Golgi to cytoplasm (By similarity). Found in perinuclear vesicular-tubular clusters (VTCs) and in the Golgi region where associated with vesicles, buds and rims of the Golgi stack (By similarity). Occasionally present at the trans-side of Golgi, but mainly present at the cis-Golgi side in transitional areas (TA), on so-called peripheral elements (PE) consisting of tubules and vesicles located between the cup-shaped transitional elements (TE) of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and the cis-most Golgi cisternae (By similarity). Present in cytoplasm, not associated with visible coats or membranes, with a minor fraction present on small clusters of tubules and vesicles (By similarity). Some association with high-density and low-density microsomes and mitochondria/nuclei fraction (By similarity). Very little found in plasma membrane fraction (PubMed:20362547). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P23514, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20362547}.
