| Alternative Names | Con A |
| Target Overview | Concanavalin A (Con A) is a plant lectin, a carbohydrate-binding protein that selectively binds to the α-Dmannosyl and α-D-glucosyl moieties on glycoproteins and glycoconjugates. Con A is an allergen that causes allergic and nonallergic responses upon its ingestion by a normal or an allergic individual, causing severe and fast allergic response of the skin, nose, and airways by inducing the release of histamine. |
