As a reagent in analytical and preparative biochemistry; as a probe in studies of cell surface membrane dynamics and cell division. | [Uses]
Concanavalin A is a unique lectin purified from the jack bean, C. ensiformis, that selectively cross-links cell-surface glycoproteins and affects the initiation of cell agglutination, mitogenesis, and apoptosis. Concanavalin A specifically binds to α-mannose and α-galactose structures found in sugars, glycoproteins, and glycolipids and has been used in affinity chromatography purifications of various glycoproteins and cellular structures. At 20 mg/kg concanavalin A is also used to induce liver injury in experimental mouse models of autoimmune hepatitis in order to study immune regulation by macrophages and T cells. Concanavalin A is toxic to several tumor cell lines and has been reported to induce programmed cell death of cortical neurons by a mechanism similar to that of the amyloid β peptide. | [Hazard]
Poison; teratogen; mutagen. | [General Description]
Concanavalin A is a protein containing only β-sheets in its structure, and belongs to the legume lectins family. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
Concanavalin A is known to stimulate acute hepatic inflammation and acts as a T‐cell mitogen. It has inhibitory effect on hepatocellular carcinoma by inducing autophagy. | [storage]
