Subcellular location [CC]Endoplasmic reticulum lumen {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10562416}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16024911}. Lipid droplet {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16024911}. Note=Moves from cytoplasm to lipid droplets upon lipid loading. Associates with lipid droplets independently of triglycerides (TG) content of the droplets and hydrolyzes cholesteryl esters more efficiently from mixed droplets. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16024911}.
