False.
Protein comes packed in peptide bonds, which is broken down by the action of an enzyme known as pepsin.
Thereafter we get a chain of amino acids that are called polypeptides, which are further broken down by carboxypeptidase, chromotrypsin, and trypsin.
The breakdown of protein is also helped by the brush border enzymes.
Gastrin, on the other hand, is a hormone released by the G cells that helps secrete gastric (hydrochloric) acid.
