Subcellular location [CC]Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9D1N4};
Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9D1N4}. Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9D1N4};
Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9D1N4}. Note=Localizes on the plasma membrane of myoblasts, where it mediates myoblasts fusion. Also localizes in the Golgi apparatus and post-Golgi following palmitoylation;
the role of Golgi localization is unclear. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9D1N4}.
