Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18442052, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26872069}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18442052}. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:30990354}. Golgi apparatus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26872069}. Note=Localizes mainly in the cytoplasm, while it localizes to the nucleus in presence of SUMO2 (PubMed:18442052). Interaction with GABARAPL2 promotes localization to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane (PubMed:30990354). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18442052, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30990354}.
