Note=Different isoform patterns are found in the different compartments of the cell. The isoforms having the C-terminal transmembrane span can be found in several organellar membranes like the nuclear envelope, the sarcoplasmic reticulum of myoblasts, or the lamellipodia and focal adhesions at the cell membrane. The largest part of the outer nuclear membrane-associated protein is cytoplasmic, while its C-terminal part is associated with the nuclear envelope, most probably the outer nuclear membrane. Remains associated with the nuclear envelope during its breakdown in mitotic cells. Shorter soluble isoforms can be found in the cytoplasm and within the nucleus.;
[Isoform 8]: Cell junction, focal adhesion {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22768332}. Note=In U2OS cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22768332}.
