Subcellular location [CC]Cell membrane;
Peripheral membrane protein. Cytoplasm. Lateral cell membrane. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell projection, dendrite {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23666762}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23666762}. Note=Phosphorylation at Thr-596 by PRKCZ/aPKC and subsequent interaction with 14-3-3 protein YWHAZ promotes relocation from the cell membrane to the cytoplasm.
