| Subcellular location [CC] | Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JJZ1}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255}. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JJZ1}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255}. Note=Principally intracellular. May move between intracellular vesicles and the plasma membrane. The dileucine internalization motif is critical for intracellular sequestration. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JJZ1}. |
