Gene name yidC
FUNCTION: Required for the insertion and/or proper folding and/or complex formation of integral membrane proteins into the membrane. Involved in integration of membrane proteins that insert both dependently and independently of the Sec translocase complex, as well as at least some lipoproteins (By similarity).
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein (By similarity).
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the OXA1/ALB3/YidC family. Type 2 subfamily.

Comments: This family, which is specific to most Firmicutes, is closely related to the protein family (MF_01810) and displays a similar function. These proteins, which are often present in two copies, are however much shorter than MF_01810 proteins, and are probably lipoproteins. In the 2 organisms in which they have been studied they have overlapping but not identical functions.
