Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase activity; 5S rRNA binding activity; and thiosulfate sulfurtransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in epithelial cell differentiation and rRNA import into mitochondrion. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human TST (thiosulfate sulfurtransferase).
