Subcellular location [CC]Secreted {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8VEI3}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8VEI3}. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, acrosome {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8VEI3}. Endoplasmic reticulum {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8VEI3}. Early endosome {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8VEI3}. Note=Mostly present in low-density vesicles. Low levels in higher density vesicles of late endosomes and lysosomes. Localized in punctate cytoplasmic vesicles and in perinuclear structures, but does not colocalize with LAMP1. Localized on the plasma membrane over the acrosome and on the surface of the midpiece of the sperm tail. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8VEI3}.
