Gliadin
Gliadin is a class of proteins present in wheat and several other cereals within the grass genus Triticum. Gliadins and glutens are essential for giving bread the ability to rise properly during baking. Gliadins and glutenins are the two main components of the gluten fraction of the wheat seed. This gluten is found in products such as wheat, rye, and barley. Gluten is split about evenly between the gliadins and glutenins, although there are variations found in different sources. Gliadin is the soluble aspect of it while glutenin is insoluble. There are three main types of gliadin and is what the body is intolerant to in coeliac disease, which is uncommon, but is becoming more diagnosed today. Gliadin has primarily monomeric proteins, which differs from glutenin, which has primarily polymers.
