General description

Con A Sepharose™ 4B with immobilized Concanavalin A is an affinity chromatography media for capture of glycosylated biomolecules including glycoproteins and glycolipids. Stronger affinity for α-D-glucose than α-D-mannose.

Con A Sepharose™ is Concanavalin A coupled to Sepharose™ 4B by the cyanogen bromide method. Concanavalin A (Con A) is a tetrameric metalloprotein isolated from Canavalia ensiformis (jack bean). Con A binds molcules containing α-D-mannopyranosyl, α-D-glucopyranosyl and sterically related residues. The binding sugar requires the presence of C-3, C-4 and C-5 hydroxyl groups for reaction with Con A. Con A coupled to Sepharose™ is routinely used for separation and purification of glycoproteins, polysaccharides and glycolipids.

Features and Benefits

  • Concanavalin A (Con A) binds molecules that contain α-D-mannose, α-D-glucose, and sterically related residues with available C-3, C-4, or C-5 hydroxyl groups
  • Group-specific adsorbent for molecules containing sugars.
  • Highly suitable for isolation of cell surface glycoproteins from detergent-solubilized membranes
  • Concanavalin A (Con A) binds molecules that contain α-D-mannose, α-D-glucose and sterically related residues with available C-3, C-4, or C-5 hydroxyl groups
  • Highly suitable for isolation of cell surface glycoproteins from detergent-solubilized membranes
  • Con A coupled to Sepharose™ 4B via cyanogen bromide activation
