Subcellular location [CC][Isoform 1]: Endoplasmic reticulum {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7593185}. Endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7593185}. Note=Targeted to the endoplasmic reticulum by its C-terminal hydrophobic region. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7593185}.;
[Isoform 2]: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Cell membrane. Note=Predominantly localizes to chromatin (By similarity). Able to shuttle between the nucleus and the cytoplasm and to dephosphorylate plasma membrane receptors (PubMed:9488479). Recruited by activated ITGA1 at the plasma membrane. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9488479}.
