Subcellular location [CC]Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17554798, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21886772, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25279699, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29477842, ECO:0000305|PubMed:26923585};
Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19900540}. Cell membrane, sarcolemma {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8CG64}. Rough endoplasmic reticulum {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15213246}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8CG64}. Note=According to some studies the N-terminal hydrophobic domain is cleaved after translocation to the Golgi apparatus and the protein is secreted (PubMed:19900540). Localization at the cell membrane may require the presence of dystroglycan (By similarity). At the Golgi apparatus localizes to the middle-to-trans-cisternae, as assessed by MG160 colocalization. Detected in rough endoplasmic reticulum in myocytes (PubMed:17554798, PubMed:21886772). In general, mutants associated with severe clinical phenotypes are retained within the endoplasmic reticulum (PubMed:15213246). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8CG64, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15213246, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17554798, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19900540, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21886772}.
