Q
are peptic hormones the same as amino acid hormones
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Peptic hormones and amino acid hormones refer to different classes of hormones based on their molecular structures and origin. Peptic hormones, also known as peptide hormones, are composed of short chains of amino acids and include hormones such as insulin and glucagon. They are synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum as larger precursors and then processed into their active forms. Amino acid hormones, on the other hand, are derived from single amino acids, primarily tyrosine or tryptophan, and include hormones like thyroxine (produced by the thyroid gland) and adrenaline (produced by the adrenal glands). These hormones differ not only in their structure but also in their modes of action. Peptide hormones typically act through surface receptors, triggering enzymatic pathways that result in rapid, but often short-lived, effects. Amino acid hormones can act through surface receptors or intracellular mechanisms, depending on their chemical nature, leading to a wide range of effects. Thus, while both are crucial for bodily functions, peptic and amino acid hormones are distinct in their composition and action.
