Subcellular location [CC]Cell membrane;
Multi-pass membrane protein. Apical cell membrane;
Multi-pass membrane protein. Endomembrane system. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Note=Associated with lipid rafts. In polarized epithelial cells, restricted to the apical surface. In hepatocytes, as well as in polarized hepatoma Hep-G2 cells, found in the canalicular membrane, equivalent to the apical surface, beneath the canalicular actin cytoskeleton. In non-polarized Hep-G2 cells, distributed to the perinuclear region.
