Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12810723, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19710016}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12810723, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19710016}. Note=Translocated from the cytoplasm to endosomes in response to stress stimuli (PubMed:12810723). Isoform 2 is rapidly relocated back to the cytoplasm upon removal of stress stimuli, whereas isoform 1 exhibits sustained endosomal association (PubMed:12810723). Translocates from the cytoplasm to the cell membrane in the presence of active GTP-bound form of HRAS (PubMed:19710016).
