Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, cilium basal body {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28625504}. Cell projection, cilium {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9D2I5}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriole {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28625504}. Note=Localized to the proximal region in cilia. Stimulation of Hh signaling leads to redistribution of ARMC9 toward the ciliary tip within 6 hours, follow by a gradual return to its original proximal location (By similarity). Localizes to the daughter centriole of the primary cilium in RPE1 cells (PubMed:28625504). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9D2I5, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28625504}.
