Subcellular location [CC]Golgi apparatus, cis-Golgi network {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12047556, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12808027, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15616190}.

Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Note=Cycles rapidly on and off early Golgi membranes (PubMed:15616190). Stabilized on membranes when complexed with ARF1-GDP and is released from both ARF1 and membranes after it catalyzes GDP displacement and ARF1 binds GTP. Continuous cycles of recruitment and dissociation of GBF1 to membranes are required for sustained ARF activation and COP I recruitment (PubMed:15813748). In neutrophils is translocated from the Golgi to the leading edge upon GPCR stimulation (PubMed:22573891). Localization to lipid droplets is questionable (PubMed:22185782). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15616190, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22185782, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22573891, ECO:0000305|PubMed:15616190, ECO:0000305|PubMed:15813748}.
