Subcellular location [CC]Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000250}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasmic vesicle, phagosome membrane {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasmic vesicle, autophagosome membrane {ECO:0000250}. Cell projection, phagocytic cup {ECO:0000250}. Note=Behaves like an integral membrane protein. Recruited to the plasma membrane around forming phagocytic cups, it remains associated with maturing autophagosomes. Preferentially associated with cis- and medial-Golgi. {ECO:0000250}.
