Subcellular location [CC]Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15759005};
Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000255}. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, acrosome membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9D9J7};
Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000255}. Note=Localizes initially to the acrosome membrane of the sperm head (both outer and inner acrosomal membranes) (By similarity). During the acrosome reaction, translocates to the plasma membrane (PubMed:15759005). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9D9J7, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15759005}.
