Subcellular location [CC]Cell junction {ECO:0000250}. Endoplasmic reticulum {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23529610}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25825981}. Note=Localized with RAP1A at cell-cell junctions (By similarity). Colocalizes with ERN1 and XBP1 in the endoplasmic reticulum in endothelial cells in a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-dependent manner (PubMed:23529610). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23529610}.;
[Isoform 1]: Cell membrane;
Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Early endosome. Note=Detected on caveolae-enriched lipid rafts at the cell surface. Is recycled from the plasma membrane to endosomes and back again. Phosphorylation triggered by VEGFA binding promotes internalization and subsequent degradation. VEGFA binding triggers internalization and translocation to the nucleus.;
[Isoform 2]: Secreted {ECO:0000305}.;
[Isoform 3]: Secreted.
