Subcellular location [CC]Lipid droplet {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18509062}. Nucleus {ECO:0000250}. Note=Enriched at lipid droplet contact sites. Has been shown to localize to mitochondria, where it could interact with UCP1 and hence inhibit UCP1 uncoupling activity (By similarity). These data could not be confirmed (PubMed:18509062). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18509062}.
