'''Concanavalin A''' (ConA) is a carbohydrate-binding protein from jack-bean (''Canavalia ensiformis''). It binds to certain sugars and to metal. It is used to characterize glycoproteins on cell surfaces.<ref>PMID:9546043</ref>. '''Concanavalin B''' (ConB) is related to chitinase with 40% sequence identity.<ref>PMID:7490746</ref>. '''Concanavalin V''' (ConV) is a D-mannose/D-glucose-binding lectin. | '''Concanavalin A''' (ConA) is a carbohydrate-binding protein from jack-bean (''Canavalia ensiformis'').
