Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; tRNA binding activity; and tRNA-5-taurinomethyluridine 2-sulfurtransferase. Predicted to be involved in tRNA wobble position uridine thiolation. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in aminoglycoside-induced deafness; infantile liver failure syndrome; and transient infantile liver failure. Orthologous to human TRMU (tRNA mitochondrial 2-thiouridylase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
