Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm, myofibril, sarcomere {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A2AMM0}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A2AMM0}. Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A2AMM0}. Cell membrane, sarcolemma {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A2AMM0}. Membrane, caveola {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19525939}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26497963}. Note=In cardiomyocytes, accumulates in the Z-line of the sarcomere. In vascular smooth muscle cells, detected diffusely throughout the cytoplasm. Localizes in the caveolae in a caveolin-dependent manner. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A2AMM0}.
