Cysteine desulfurase, mitochondrial is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the NFS1 gene.{{cite journal | vauthors = Land T, Rouault TA | title = Targeting of a human iron-sulfur cluster assembly enzyme, nifs, to different subcellular compartments is regulated through alternative AUG utilization | journal = Mol Cell | volume = 2 | issue = 6 | pages = 807–15 |date=Jan 1999 | pmid = 9885568 | doi =10.1016/S1097-2765(00)80295-6 | doi-access = free }}{{cite journal | vauthors = Biederbick A, Stehling O, Rosser R, Niggemeyer B, Nakai Y, Elsasser HP, Lill R | title = Role of human mitochondrial Nfs1 in cytosolic iron-sulfur protein biogenesis and iron regulation | journal = Mol Cell Biol | volume = 26 | issue = 15 | pages = 5675–87 |date=Jul 2006 | pmid = 16847322 | pmc = 1592756 | doi = 10.1128/MCB.00112-06 }}{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: NFS1 NFS1 nitrogen fixation 1 homolog (S. cerevisiae)| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=9054}}
Iron-sulfur clusters are required for the function of many cellular enzymes. The protein encoded by this gene supplies inorganic sulfur to these clusters by removing the sulfur from cysteine, creating alanine in the process. This gene uses alternate in-frame translation initiation sites to generate mitochondrial forms and cytoplasmic/nuclear forms. Selection of the alternative initiation sites is determined by the cytosolic pH. The encoded protein belongs to the class-V family of pyridoxal phosphate-dependent aminotransferases.{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: NFS1 NFS1 nitrogen fixation 1 homolog (S. cerevisiae)| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=9054}}
