Predicted to enable 4 iron, 4 sulfur cluster binding activity and iron ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in iron-sulfur cluster assembly and protein maturation by iron-sulfur cluster transfer. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early embryo; genitourinary system; liver; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in multiple mitochondrial dysfunctions syndrome 1. Orthologous to human NFU1 (NFU1 iron-sulfur cluster scaffold).
