Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm. Golgi apparatus. Membrane {ECO:0000305};
Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000305}. Note=Sequence analysis programs clearly predict 1 transmembrane region. However, PubMed:18996921 shows that it is not a stably anchored transmembrane protein but it weakly associates with the Golgi apparatus and shuttles between the Golgi and the cytosol.
