Subcellular location [CC]Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25795779, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26883802, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30394292};
Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255}. Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25795779};
Multi-pass membrane protein. Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O08650};
Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255}. Early endosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26883802}. Note=Travels from endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi to plasma membrane (PubMed:26883802). Actives only when present in plasma membrane (By similarity). O-GlcNAcylation controls its membrane localization (PubMed:26883802). A rapid recycling of HAS3 between plasma membrane and endosomes is controlled by the cytosolic levels of UDP-GlcUA and UDP-GlcNAc (PubMed:26883802). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O08650, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26883802}.
