Subcellular location [CC]Endoplasmic reticulum {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15927961}. Note=localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of the liver and in a lipid metabolism-rich region of the ER known as mitochondria-associated membranes (PubMed:15927961). Adopts a topography within the ER membrane that positions both termini in the cytosol (PubMed:12431977). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12431977, ECO:0000303|PubMed:15927961}.;
[Isoform 1]: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20860552};
Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03216}. Mitochondrion membrane {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03216};
Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03216}. Note=Found in endoplasmic reticulum where most PEMT activity is generated and in mitochondria. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12431977}.;
[Isoform 2]: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20860552};
Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03216}.
