    <text evidence="2 4">Component of the multi-pass translocon (MPT) complex that mediates insertion of multi-pass membrane proteins into the lipid bilayer of membranes (By similarity). The MPT complex takes over after the SEC61 complex: following membrane insertion of the first few transmembrane segments of proteins by the SEC61 complex, the MPT complex occludes the lateral gate of the SEC61 complex to promote insertion of subsequent transmembrane regions (By similarity). Within the MPT complex, the GEL subcomplex may mediate insertion of transmembrane regions into the membrane (By similarity). In addition to its role in multi-pass membrane insertion, RAB5IF/OPTI also acts as an assembly factor for mitochondrial respiratory complexes (PubMed:31536960).</text>

    <text evidence="2 4">Component of the GET- and EMC-like (GEL) complex, composed of RAB5IF/OPTI and TMCO1 (By similarity). The GEL complex is part of the multi-pass translocon (MPT) complex, composed of three subcomplexes, the GEL complex (composed of RAB5IF/OPTI and TMCO1), the BOS complex (composed of NCLN/Nicalin, NOMO1 and TMEM147) and the PAT complex (composed of WDR83OS/Asterix and CCDC47) (By similarity). The MPT complex associates with the SEC61 complex (By similarity). Interacts with NDUFS3, COXFA4, NDUFV1, NDUFA9 and NDUFS8 of the mitochondrial membrane respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase (Complex I) (PubMed:31536960). Interacts with UQCRC2 of the ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase complex (Complex III) (PubMed:31536960). Interacts with COX5A and COX7C of the cytochrome c oxidase complex (Complex IV) (PubMed:31536960).</text>
