noun gliadins
-
A minor protein (along with gluten and glutelin) in wheat; it may cause a toxic reaction in some people.
Most of the gluten proteins, the gliadins and the glutenins, are around a thousand amino acids long. The gliadin chains fold onto themselves in a compact mass, and bond weakly with each other and with the glutenin proteins.
