Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Basolateral cell membrane. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Note=Colocalized on microtubules. An intracellular redistribution is triggered during induction of keratinocyte terminal differentiation from microtubules with a perinuclear localization to cortical microtubules organized in spike-like bundles facing intercellular contacts.
