Subcellular location [CC]Endoplasmic reticulum {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20921139}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20921139}. Cytoplasmic vesicle, autophagosome {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A2AH22}. Mitochondrion {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21358617, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25215947}. Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A2AH22}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:32616651}. Cell junction, focal adhesion {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A2AH22}. Note=Localizes to the cytoskeleton in absence of autophagy induction (PubMed:20921139). Upon autophagy induction, AMBRA1 relocalizes to the endoplasmic reticulum to enable autophagosome nucleation (PubMed:20921139). Partially localizes at mitochondria in normal conditions (PubMed:21358617). Localizes also to discrete punctae along the ciliary axoneme (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A2AH22, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20921139, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21358617}.
