WHAT DOES CONCANAVALIN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Concanavalin A

Concanavalin A is a lectin originally extracted from the jack-bean, Canavalia ensiformis. It is a member of the legume lectin family. It binds specifically to certain structures found in various sugars, glycoproteins, and glycolipids, mainly internal and nonreducing terminal α-D-mannosyl and α-D-glucosyl groups. ConA is a plant mitogen, and is known for its ability to stimulate mouse T-cell subsets giving rise to four functionally distinct T cell populations, including precursors to suppressor T-cell; one subset of human suppressor T-cells as well is sensitive to ConA. ConA was the first lectin to be available on a commercial basis, and is widely used in biology and biochemistry to characterize glycoproteins and other sugar-containing entities on the surface of various cells. It is also used to purify glycosylated macromolecules in lectin affinity chromatography, as well as to study immune regulation by various immune cells.

Definition of concanavalin in the English dictionary

The definition of concanavalin in the dictionary is either of two globulins, concanavalin B or concanavalin A, that occur in the jack bean. Concanavalin A causes agglutination of the blood of mammals.
