Biological/Functional activity & target protein
Coeliac toxic activity

The peptide was tested for inhibition of leukocyte migration in 47 patients with celiac disease. In nineteen patients, all on normal diet, leukocyte migration was inhibited by the peptides and naloxone blocked this effect. In twenty-eight patients (24 of whom were on strict gluten-free diet) leukocyte migration was not affected by the peptides. The results suggest that α-gliadin-(43-49) is closely related to the active fragment, or to one of the active fragments of α-gliadin, and that it interacts with receptors that are similar to but not identical with the known opiate receptors.
