The molecule is a glutathione conjugate obtained by formation of a thioselenide link between the thiol group of glutathione and the selenol group of 1-seleno-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine. It has a role as a human xenobiotic metabolite. It is an organoselenium compound, a thioselenide, a glutathione conjugate and a monosaccharide derivative. It derives from a N-acetyl-beta-D-galactosamine.
