Subcellular location [CC]Mitochondrion outer membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1985912, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27374331};
Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27374331}. Note=The mitochondrial-binding peptide (MBP) region promotes association with the mitochondrial outer membrane (Probable). Dissociates from the mitochondrial outer membrane following inhibition by N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, leading to relocation to the cytosol (PubMed:27374331). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27374331, ECO:0000305|PubMed:1985912}.
