What is the difference between your Pierce Glycoprotein Isolation Kit, ConA and WGA?

The ConA kit (Cat. No. 89804), which has concanavalin A immobilized on the resin, recognizes alpha-linked mannose, and to a lesser extent, terminal glucose residues. The WGA kit (Cat. No. 89805), which has wheat germ agglutinin immobilized on the resin, recognizes N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc) groups and sialic acid.

Can I isolate my proteins based on their post-translational modification (PTM) or active binding site?

Enrichment of specific proteins or protein complexes can most easily be accomplished by using target-specific immobilized antibody or PTM specific affinity binding. We offer several kits targeting phosphorylated proteins, alpha- linked mannose and terminal glucose residues, N-acetyl glucosamine, polyubiquinated proteins, ATP binding sites, and active serine hydrolase enzymes.
