Gluten is an insoluble protein occurring in wheat and other cereal grains.  It is made of the proteins gliadin and glutenin. Its presence in our flours helps make the production of leavened or raised baked goods and sweet breads possible. The chainlike molecules form a stretchable or elastic network that traps carbon dioxide that expands. 

Gluten is found in a wide variety of food products.
