  • Endoplasmic reticulum membrane
  • Single-pass type I membrane protein . Golgi apparatus, cis-Golgi network membrane
  • Single-pass type I membrane protein . Endosome, multivesicular body . Melanosome . Extracellular vesicle . Secreted . Note=Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV (PubMed:17081065). Localizes predominantly to intralumenal vesicles (ILVs) within multivesicular bodies. Associates with ILVs found within the lumen of premelanosomes and melanosomes and particularly in compartments that serve as precursors to the striated stage II premelanosomes (PubMed:11694580, PubMed:12643545). Sorted to stage I melanosomes following its processing in the ER and cis-Golgi (PubMed:15096515). Transiently expressed at the cell surface before targeting to early melanosomes (PubMed:16760433, PubMed:30988362). Colocalizes with BACE2 in stage I and II melanosomes (PubMed:23754390). Colocalizes with CD63 and APOE at exosomes and in intraluminal vesicles within multivesicular endosomes (PubMed:21962903, PubMed:26387950). .
