[edit] Rename according to the convention

Is there any reason not to move this article to adenomatosis polyposis coli? —Michael Z. 2006-12-14 20:56 Z

[edit] APC is more than a gene

The title of this article, "APC (gene)", is inappropriate. True, there is a gene that encodes for APC. However, the protein product of this gene is of the utmost importance in human biology. My point is merely semantic; I'm advocating for the renaming of this article. The suggestion (spelling out the words comprising the APC acronym) of the commenter above would suffice. --Antelan ^talk 22:49, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikiversity has some articles about genes and some articles about proteins. For example, there is both TP53 and p53. Sometimes if a gene/protein is known by an abbreviation, "(gene)" might get added to the name of the page even if the page includes information for both the gene and the protein. This might have been done in this case because APC is such a common three letter abbreviation. --JWSchmidt 23:01, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

I've set up a redirect from the spelled-out word to this article, which is probably sufficient. Antelan ^talk 01:06, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
