Subcellular location [CC]Endoplasmic reticulum membrane;
Single-pass membrane protein. Nucleus membrane {ECO:0000250};
Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Cell junction, tight junction {ECO:0000250}. Nucleus, nucleolus {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Note=In epithelial cells, recruited to tight junctions (TJ) during the maturation of the TJ complexes. A nucleolar staining may be due to nuclear targeting of an isoform lacking the transmembrane domain (By similarity). TNF-alpha causes translocation from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. {ECO:0000250}.
