Active Native Canavalia ensiformis Concanavalin A Protein, Agarose bound

• Cat.No.: Lectin-1756C
• Product Overview: This product is the Agarose bound Concanavalin A has sugar specificity against Mannose and Glucose.

Specification

• Description: Con A recognizes α-linked mannose present as part of a core oligosaccharide in many serum and membrane glycoproteins. At neutral and alkaline pH, Con A exists as a tetramer of four identical subunits; below pH 5.6, Con A dissociates into active dimers of 52 kDa. Acetylation, succinylation, or other derivatizations can also produce stable forms with dimeric structures. (See succinylated Con A). Nicks in the sequence are often present in the purest preparations due to hydrolytic damage within the seeds.
