Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, cilium basal body {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17558407, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26644512}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17558407}. Cell junction, tight junction {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P59240}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22654112}. Note=In cultured renal cells, it localizes diffusely in the cytoplasm but, as cells approach confluence, it accumulates to basolateral tight junctions (By similarity). Localizes to the ciliary transition zone (By similarity). In the retinal photoreceptor cell layer, localizes at the connecting cilium (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P59240}.
