Subcellular location [CC]Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10921872, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11101640, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15505343, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23935841};
Multi-pass membrane protein. Basolateral cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21199217};
Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255}. Note=Plasma membrane localization is dependent upon the BSG/MCT4 interaction (PubMed:10921872). Basolateral sorting signals (BLSS) in C-terminal cytoplasmic tail ensure its basolateral expression in polarised epithelial cells (PubMed:21199217). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10921872, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21199217}.
