Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000250}. Preautophagosomal structure {ECO:0000250}. Note=Under starvation conditions, is localized to puncate structures primarily representing the isolation membrane that sequesters a portion of the cytoplasm resulting in the formation of an autophagosome. {ECO:0000250}.
