Biochem/physiol Actions
Concanavalin A is a lectin isolated from Canavalia ensiformis or Jack bean seeds. It has potent mitogenic effect on T cells and triggers the activity of both helper and suppressor T cells exhibiting immune regulator activity. Con A triggers autophagy by binding on the cell membrane glycoprotein and is internalized to the mitochondria. It activates immune response in liver and displays anti-hepatoma effect.
Target description
