Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255}. Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18957282, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19229105, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20798600, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22354088}. Note=Localizes mostly in mitochondrion and the two smaller proteolytic processed fragments localize mainly in cytosol (PubMed:19229105). When mitochondria lose mitochondrial membrane potential following damage, PINK1 import is arrested, which induces its accumulation in the outer mitochondrial membrane, where it acquires kinase activity (PubMed:18957282). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18957282, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19229105}.
