No. It is a neurotransmitter, derived from the amino acid tryptophan.
Is epinephrine a steroid a catecholamine a peptide or a iodinated amino acid derivative?
catecholamine
Is thyroxine a steroid hormone?
Thryoxine is a hormone derived from the amino acid 'Tyrosine' and so is classed as an amino-acid derivative. (NB: Amino-acids are the basic structural units of a peptide/protein).
Is the medication synthroid a steroid based?
Thryoxine is a hormone derived from the amino acid 'Tyrosine' and so is classed as an amino-acid derivative. (NB: Amino-acids are the basic structural units of a peptide/protein).
Glucose is to a starch as a. a steroid is to a lipid b. a nucleotide is to a nucleic acid c. an amino acid is to a protein d. a polypeptide is to an amino acid?
an amino acid is to a protein. ie starch is made of a chain of glucose with side branching. aa's combine to make a protein, to simplify things
Why can steroid and thyroid hormones but not amino acid-based hormones move across cell membranes?
b/c steroid and thyroid hormones are fat soluble

Is arginine an anabolic steroid?
It is an amino acid whereas steroids are synthetic versions of hormones. It doesnt alter your bodies chemistry and is perfectly safe.
What amino acid is technically not an amino acid?
proline is not an amino acid it is an imino acid
Why does most amino acid based hormones bind to cell membrane receptors?
This is because they do not have the ability to pass through the membrane, unlike steroid hormones. Steroid hormones bind inside the cell cytoplasm before docking onto the receptors.
Each codon calls for a specific?
amino acid
