Subcellular location [CC]Membrane {ECO:0000305};
Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O55034}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, flagellum axoneme {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O55034}. Nucleus envelope {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JJF2}. Nucleus inner membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JJF2}. Note=In spermatids, it is localized in the transient manchette and in the axoneme of elongating spermatids and epididymal sperm (By similarity). Colocalized with SEPT12 at the nuclear periphery in round spermatids, at sperm neck in elongated spermatids and at midpiece regions in ejaculated spermatozoa (PubMed:25775403). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O55034, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25775403}.
