|
| 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
