Subcellular location [CC]Endoplasmic reticulum membrane;
Peripheral membrane protein;
Cytoplasmic side. Golgi apparatus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11752458, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16982913, ECO:0000269|PubMed:31921110}. Endoplasmic reticulum {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11752458, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16982913, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30587778}. Lipid droplet {ECO:0000269|PubMed:31921110}. Mitochondrion. Mitochondrion inner membrane. Mitochondrion outer membrane. Note=Infection with human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) causes relocation to the Golgi apparatus and to cytoplasmic vacuoles which also contain HCMV proteins glycoprotein B and pp28. Interaction with human cytomegalovirus/HHV-5 protein vMIA/UL37 results in its relocalization from the endoplasmic reticulum to the mitochondria.
