| Bioactivity | Concanavalin A (agarose) consists of Concanavalin A (HY-P2149) coupled to agarose. Concanavalin A is a tetrameric metalloprotein lectin isolated from Canavalia ensiformis (jack bean). Concanavalin A (agarose) is used for the purification of glycoproteins, polysaccharides and glycolipids as it binds molecules containing α-D-mannopyranosyl, α-D-glucopyranosyl and sterically related residues. Concanavalin A (agarose) has also be used in other application areas including purification of enzyme-antibody conjugates, purification of IgM and separation of membrane vesicles[1]. |
