General description

Gliadorphin-7 is a peptide corresponding to amino-acids 43-49 of gliadin, a component of the gluten protein. Gliadorphin-7 is an opoid peptide formed in the body by the digestion of the gliadin. Accumulation of this peptide was found in autism, schizophrenia and cealic disease possibly due to improper proteolysis.
Gliadorphin-7 is one of the seven most commonly known gluten exorphins (GEs), which is a peptide derived from gliadin. Gliadin is a component of gluten found in wheat. Gliadorphin-7 peptide is produced upon the digestion of wheat glutens, and has an opioid-like activity. It is composed of Tyr-Pro-Gln-Pro-Gln-Pro-Phe, Gd-7.[1]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Gliadorphin-7 can reach regions in brain by diffusion circumventricular organs. Studies in rats show that gliadorphin-7 (GD-7) infusion results in high presence of this peptide in both geniculate nuclei (GN) and the alveus hippocampus.[2]

This paper discusses the effects of gliadorphin-7 (GD-7) infusion in rats and contrasts them with those of beta-casomorphin-7 (betaC-7). Both induce FLI in a dose related fashion. Very strong expression in both geniculate nuclei (GN) and the alveus hippocampus follow
