Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, cilium axoneme {ECO:0000269|PubMed:30398148}. Note=Colocalizes with OPTN at the Golgi complex and in vesicular structures close to the plasma membrane (PubMed:15837803). In the GDP-bound form, present in the perinuclear region (PubMed:12221131). Shows a polarized distribution to distal regions of cell protrusions in the GTP-bound form (PubMed:12221131). Colocalizes with PARD3, PRKCI, EXOC5, OCLN, PODXL and RAB11A in apical membrane initiation sites (AMIS) during the generation of apical surface and lumenogenesis (PubMed:20890297). Localizes to tubular recycling endosome (PubMed:19864458). Recruited to phagosomes containing S.aureus or M.tuberculosis (PubMed:21255211). Non-phosphorylated RAB8A predominantly localizes to the cytoplasm whereas phosphorylated RAB8A localizes to the membrane (PubMed:26824392, PubMed:29125462, PubMed:30398148). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12221131, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15837803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19864458, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20890297, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21255211, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26824392, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29125462, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30398148}.
