Gluten immunochemistry motif", which is found in wheat and other "Triticeae" genera.(see also: ). Alpha-2 secalin, the glutinous protein in rye, is composed of two amino-terminal overlapping T-cell sites at positions (8-19) and (13-23). Although T-cell responses to many prolamins can be found in coeliac disease, one particular gliadin, α2-gliadin appears to be the focus of T-cells. These responses were dependent on prior treatment with tissue transglutaminase. Α2-gliadin differs from the other α-gliadins, specifically because it contains an insert of 14 amino acids. This particular insertion creates 6 T-cell sites where, in the most similar gliadins, there are 2 or less sites.
Wheat gluten (food) in Boston. All worked for years to popularize these pioneering products at the Erewhon retail store, and developed a trademark on the Wheatmeat name. While wheat gluten itself is rather flavorless, it holds a marinade very well and is usually simmered in a "dashi" (broth) made from soy sauce, kombu, ginger, and sometimes also sesame oil.
