Subcellular location [CC]Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P14142};
Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P14142}. Endomembrane system {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8300557};
Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8300557}. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P14142}. Note=Localizes primarily to the perinuclear region, undergoing continued recycling to the plasma membrane where it is rapidly reinternalized (PubMed:8300557). The dileucine internalization motif is critical for intracellular sequestration (PubMed:8300557). Insulin stimulation induces translocation to the cell membrane (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P14142, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8300557}.
