Tissue SpecificityUbiquitously expressed with highest levels found in skeletal muscles, heart, kidney and brain. Isoform 1 is brain-specific. Isoform 2 and isoform 3 are predominantly expressed in testis and skeletal muscles respectively. Isoform 4 is weakly expressed in brain, heart and kidney. Isoform 5 is dominantly expressed in liver, heart and kidney. Isoform 6 is expressed in neurons. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10749171, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9422767, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9570752, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9731200, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9786947}.

Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm, cytosol. Golgi apparatus. Endomembrane system;
Peripheral membrane protein. Mitochondrion outer membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26122121, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27145208, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28969390};
Peripheral membrane protein. Peroxisome. Membrane, clathrin-coated pit {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, synaptic vesicle membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O35303}. Note=Mainly cytosolic. Recruited by RALA and RALBP1 to mitochondrion during mitosis (PubMed:21822277). Translocated to the mitochondrial membrane through O-GlcNAcylation and interaction with FIS1. Colocalized with MARCHF5 at mitochondrial membrane. Localizes to mitochondria at sites of division. Localizes to mitochondria following necrosis induction. Recruited to the mitochondrial outer membrane by interaction with MIEF1. Mitochondrial recruitment is inhibited by C11orf65/MFI (By similarity). Associated with peroxisomal membranes, partly recruited there by PEX11B. May also be associated with endoplasmic reticulum tubules and cytoplasmic vesicles and found to be perinuclear. In some cell types, localizes to the Golgi complex (By similarity). Binds to phospholipid membranes (By similarity). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8K1M6, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21822277}.
