Alpha-Beta Gliadin IgG is a type of antibody that is produced by the immune system in response to gliadin, a protein found in gluten. Gliadin is commonly found in wheat, barley, and rye and is known to trigger an immune response in individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
When the immune system detects gliadin in the body, it produces antibodies, including Alpha-Beta Gliadin IgG, to target and neutralize it. Elevated levels of Alpha-Beta Gliadin IgG antibodies in the blood can indicate the presence of an immune response to gliadin and may suggest the presence of celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
Alpha-Beta Gliadin IgG testing is often used as part of a comprehensive evaluation for gluten-related disorders, although it is not a definitive diagnostic test on its own. A healthcare professional can help interpret the results of Alpha-Beta Gliadin IgG testing and determine if further evaluation or treatment is needed.
