Concanavalin A (Con A) (AP)

Alkaline phosphatase (AP) is conjugated to Concanavalin A (Jackbean) Lectin (Con A) to show the binding of Con A in many applications including Western blotting and ELISA. Alkaline phosphatase is a large protein (140kD) that catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphate groups from a substrate resulting in a colored or fluorescent product. The optimal enzymatic activity of this protein is between pH 8 and 10, and its reaction rate remains linear, improving sensitivity over time||Source:|Jackbean||Blood Specificity:|Relatively weak blood agglutinin||Sugar Specificity:|alpha-Mannose, alpha-Glucose||Inhibitory Carbohydrate:|alpha-Methylmannoside + alpha-Methylglucoside||Divalent Ions:|Ca++, Mn++||Storage and Stability:|Store product at 4°C.
