Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable heme binding activity; molybdopterin cofactor binding activity; and sulfite oxidase activity. Predicted to be involved in response to nutrient and sulfur compound metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in inherited metabolic disorder and isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency. Orthologous to human SUOX (sulfite oxidase).
