Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, stress fiber {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24706950}. Membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P11862};
Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P11862}. Note=Component of the microfilament system. Colocalizes with actin fibers at the cell border and along the stress fibers in growth-arrested fibroblasts. Mainly membrane-associated. When hyperphosphorylated, accumulates at membrane ruffles. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P11862}.
