Cytoplasmic vesicle, autophagosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19148225, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20529957, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21143716, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21695056, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23307288, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23459205}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21143716, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23307288}. Note=Detected in neuronal processes and at synapses (By similarity). Recruited to the ER during ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD) (PubMed:19822669). Isoform 1 and isoform 3 colocalize with PSEN1 in the cell membrane and in cytoplasmic juxtanuclear structures called aggresomes (PubMed:21143716). Colocalizes with ORAI1 and TICAM1 in the autophagosome (PubMed:23307288, PubMed:21695056). Colocalizes with EPS15 and HGS in ubiquitin-rich cytoplasmic aggregates that are not endocytic compartments and with EPS15 also in aggresomes (PubMed:16159959). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JJP9, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16159959, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19822669, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21143716, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21695056, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23307288}.
