Hormones can be proteins or steroids. Insulin and ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) are proteins that are hormones, which are produced in the pancreas and the anterior pituitary gland, respectively. The hormones estrogen and testosterone are two examples of steroids that are hormones produced in the ovaries and testes, respectively.

What class of biomolecule do human sex hormones belong to?
Human sex hormones are steroids so they belong in the lipid class of biomolecules.
Are proteins steroid hormones?
No, yet proteins as enzymes are completely responsible for their bio-synthesis and regulation. The root source of steroids in their many forms is the cholesterol molecule.
Is a hormone a steroid?
Every hormone is NOT a steroid. Steroids are produced by the Adrenal Cortex. Hormones are divided into two groups, Steroids and Proteins.
Proteins that function as chemical messengers?
Hormones. Fool.
Do proteins form hormones enzymes and connective tissue?
Enzymes are catalytic proteins. Connective tissue is, well, tissue and is made of cells, but proteins such as collagen do play an important role. Some hormones are proteins and some are not. An example of a protein that serves as a hormone is insulin. However, hormones such as testosterone or thyroxin are NOT proteins.
What are steroid hormones most similar to?
Cholesterol
What kind of molecules are most hormones?
There are several types.Some are proteins,,Some are ammines and some are steroids
Are protein hormones?
Yes, hormones are proteins with specific structure
What class of biomolecule do human sex hormones belong to?

Are proteins steroid hormones?

What organic group are hormones classified in?
Some hormones (such as steroids) are classified under lipids which actually belong to Esters group. Other hormones are proteins which belong to amine group (they are made up of amino acids).
Are steroid hormones lipids?
I am not sure if this question is worded correctly. Should it be "do lipids function as hormones?" Cholesterol is the basis for forming both male and female sex hormones. Testosterone in males and Estrogen and Progesterone in females.
Is a hormone a steroid?
Every hormone is NOT a steroid. Steroids are produced by the Adrenal Cortex. Hormones are divided into two groups, Steroids and Proteins.
Why does it take much longer for sex hormones and other steroids to produce their effects than it takes nonsteroid hormones?
Their target cells must formulate new proteins before an effect can take place.
Can hormones be steroids?
Yes, steroids are hormones that are composed of lipids.
What hormones are lipids derive from cholesterol?
steroids
Class of lipids which includes cholesterol and sex hormones?
steroids... The steroids are a group of lipids with no fatty acids. This group includes cholesterol, Bile Salts, and steroid hormones (which includes sex hormones).
