MeSebGalNac is hydrolysed to MeSeH and bGalNac
In rat cytosol, 1beta-methylseleno-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (MeSebGalNac) aka selenosugar B is hydrolysed to methylselenol (MeSeH) and N-acetyl-beta-D-galactosamine (bGalNac) by an unknown mechanism. The actual enzyme or enzymes involved have yet to be identified (Suzuki et al. 2006).
