Subcellular location [CC]Endomembrane system {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12243749};
Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12243749}. Cell junction, adherens junction {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12243749}. Cell projection, cilium, flagellum {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, acrosome {ECO:0000250}. Note=The majority of the protein is localized in a perinuclear compartment which may correspond to the trans-Golgi network or the late endosome. The pro-protein is the major detectable form on the cell surface, whereas the majority of the protein in the cell is processed (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
