Summary: Enables ferrous iron binding activity. Involved in iron-sulfur cluster assembly. Part of L-cysteine desulfurase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; embryonic/larval midgut; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; and embryonic/larval muscle system. Orthologous to human ISCU (iron-sulfur cluster assembly enzyme). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
