Subcellular location [CC][Isoform 1]: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10793131, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15184393}. Cytoplasm, cell cortex {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15184393}. Membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15184393, ECO:0000305|PubMed:18028448};
Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255}. Apical cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20335315};
Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O00299}. Note=Associates with the cortical actin cytoskeleton (PubMed:10793131, PubMed:15184393). Localizes to the apical region of cochlear hair cells, at the base of the actin-rich hair bundle (By similarity). Colocalizes with podocalyxin at the apical cell membrane in renal glomeruli (PubMed:20335315). May localize to the centrosome in lens epithelial cells (By similarity). Exists both as soluble cytoplasmic protein and as membrane protein with probably a single transmembrane domain (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O00299, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8BXK9, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9EPT8, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10793131, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15184393, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20335315}.;
