A more than weird sentence + an opinion about importance

I think, this article has at least a little bit higher importance than "low". I would consider it least "intermediate". I also think that this: "Gastrin-releasing peptide, also known as GRP, is a human gene." is a weird sentence. Peptides are not genes. Of course, we all(?) know that peptides are coded by genes, however, they are not the same thing. Not at all. You can say "Gastrin releasing peptide gene is a humgan gene" Or "the gene of the gastrin releasing peptide is a human gene" ... etc (I wouldn't say this with these words of course.), but the original sentence is an oxymoron. Genes are NOT proteins. Proteins are NOT genes. So please, do something about this sentence. THANK YOU!Myrmeleon formicarius (talk) 19:26, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Gastrin-releasing peptide is a regulatory human peptide" Although I agree only the corresponding human gene has been found, the peptide itself is common in structure and function to all? or at least most mammals. To back up this claim, I just have the consensus of my veterinary professors. I am new to editing stuff on wikipedia, but this goes for a lot of the human oriented medical-related articles.
