Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Golgi apparatus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10807909, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20085643, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20174559, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27534431, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27538435}. Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network. Cytoplasmic vesicle, autophagosome. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Recycling endosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20085643}. Note=Found in the perinuclear region and associates with the Golgi apparatus (PubMed:27534431). Colocalizes with MYO6 and RAB8 at the Golgi complex and in vesicular structures close to the plasma membrane. Localizes to LC3-positive cytoplasmic vesicles upon induction of autophagy. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27534431}.
