Con-A Sepharose^™ 4B

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.
