Subcellular location [CC]Cell membrane;
Peripheral membrane protein;
Cytoplasmic side. Apical cell membrane;
Peripheral membrane protein;
Cytoplasmic side. Postsynaptic density. Cell projection, dendrite. Cell junction, tight junction. Synapse. Synapse, synaptosome. Note=Colocalizes with HTR2C on the apical membrane of epithelial choroid plexus cells (By similarity). Highly enriched in postsynaptic densities (PSD). Localized to punctae on dendrites of hippocampal neurons and colocalizes with the synaptic marker DLG4. Localized mainly in the Schmidt-Lanterman incisures of myelinating Schwann cells (By similarity). In the retina, localizes to the sub-apical region adjacent to the adherens junction complex at the outer limiting membrane. Enriched at the tight junctions of epithelial cells. Association to the tight junctions depends on CXADR. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O55164}.
