PDB 1S31  (X-ray  2.70A 
DBSNP NA 
Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Nucleus {ECO:0000250}. Secreted {ECO:0000250}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000250};
Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250};
Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000250}. Note=Binds phospholipid and is anchored to the plasma membrane through binding phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. Is released upon activation of phospholipase C. Translocates from the plasma membrane to the nucleus upon activation of guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(q) subunit alpha. Does not have a cleavable signal peptide and is secreted by a non-conventional pathway (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
