| Function | Catalyzes the removal of elemental sulfur from cysteine to produce alanine. It supplies the inorganic sulfur for iron- sulfur (Fe-S) clusters. May be involved in the biosynthesis of molybdenum cofactor. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18650437}. |
| Subcellular Location | Isoform Mitochondrial: Mitochondrion. |
| Tissue Specificity | Predominantly expressed in heart and skeletal muscle. Also found in brain, liver and pancreas. |
| Top Pathways | Sulfur relay system, Thiamine metabolism |
