Subcellular location [CC]Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9DCP2};
Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255}. Basolateral cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9DCP2}. Note=The localization appears to be basolateral in the plasma membrane of hepatocytes surrounding the central vein. Localized at the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-facing membrane of the choroid plexus epithelial cells. In astrocytes, the localization at cell membrane is decreased by ammonia through the PKC signaling. Expressed in both luminal and abluminal plasma membranes of larger microvessels and blood brain barrier (BBB) capillaries (By similarity). Restricted to the basolateral membranes of S3 segment cells of the proximal tubules (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9DCP2, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JHZ9}.
