The 12 pages that link to Peptide hormone, each with the reason it gives.

• Steroid hormoneCompared with: Its solubility and usual receptor location contrast with classic steroid signaling.

• ProlactinNarrower topic: Prolactin is a protein hormone that acts through cell-surface receptors.

• HormoneBroader topic: Insulin and many pituitary signals belong to this widely used hormone class.

• OxytocinRelated: Oxytocin’s peptide structure prevents it from freely crossing cell membranes.

• Growth hormoneNarrower topic: Growth hormone’s peptide structure shapes its transport and receptor-based action.

• SteroidogenesisCompared with: Unlike steroid hormones, peptide hormones are not built from cholesterol.

• PeptideBroader topic: Insulin and glucagon show how peptides can act as systemic signals.

• Endocrine cellBroader topic: Many endocrine cells specialize in producing and releasing peptide hormones.

• EndorphinsRelated: Some endorphins also function as hormones when released into the bloodstream.

• Roger GuilleminNarrower topic: The brain hormones isolated by Guillemin are peptides rather than small-molecule transmitters.

• SecretinNarrower topic: Secretin’s peptide structure and receptor-mediated action place it in this hormone family.

• Neurosecretory systemsRelated: Many neurosecretory products are peptide hormones packaged for regulated release.
