Question

what is difference between peptide and protien hormones? //or are they same... pls explain​

Answer 1

Answer:

Peptide hormones or protein hormones are hormones whose molecules are peptides or proteins, respectively. The latter have longer amino acid chain lengths than the former. ... Most hormones can be classified as either amino acid–based hormones (amine, peptide, or protein) or steroid hormones.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The basic distinguishing factors are size and structure. Peptides are smaller than proteins. Traditionally, peptides are defined as molecules that consist of between 2 and 50 amino acids, whereas proteins are made up of 50 or more amino acids.

Peptide and Protein Hormones

Peptide hormones consist of short chains of our amino acids, whereas protein hormones are longer polypeptides. Both types are synthesized like other body proteins: DNA is transcribed into mRNA, which is translated into an amino acid chain.
