Subcellular location [CC]Lysosome membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16960811, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17033958, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17897319};
Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16960811, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17033958, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17897319}. Note=Colocalizes with the lysosomal marker LAMP2. The signal peptide is not cleaved upon translocation into the endoplasmic reticulum;
the precursor is probably targeted to the lysosomes via the adapter protein complex-mediated pathway that involves tyrosine- and/or dileucine-based conserved amino acid motifs in the last C-terminus 16-amino acid domain.
