Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q80VW5}. Cell projection, stereocilium {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q80VW5}. Cell projection, growth cone {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q80VW5}. Photoreceptor inner segment {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q80VW5}. Synapse {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q810W9}. Note=Detected at the level of stereocilia in inner and outer hair cells of the cochlea and vestibule. Localizes to both tip and ankle-link stereocilia regions. Colocalizes with the growing ends of actin filaments. Colocalizes with MPP1 in the retina, at the outer limiting membrane (OLM), outer plexifirm layer (OPL), basal bodies and at the connecting cilium (CC). In photoreceptors, localizes at a plasma membrane microdomain in the apical inner segment that surrounds the connecting cilia called periciliary membrane complex. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q80VW5, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q810W9, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17584769}.
