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.

Why do steroid hormones need a transport protein to circulate with blood?

Steroid hormones are "lipophilic" (they are fatty molecules which do not dissolve in water.) They would not normally dissolve very well in blood. Proteins are "hydrophilic" and do dissolve in water. Transport proteins bind to steroid hormones and allow dissolution in blood; they also serve to keep most of the hormone molecules inactive until needed.


Steroid hormones enter the bloodstream by diffusion and?

Steroid Hormones only enter the bloodstream by diffusion. If you are a student taking anatomy/phyiso 2 and refering to this question: All steroid hormones are derived from (cholesterol). Which steroid hormone is produced is determined by the (enzymes) present in the cell. The common precursor molecule for all steroid hormones is (pregnenolone). Steroid hormones enter the blood stream by (diffusion) and (do) require a carrier. The rate of secretion of steroid hormones is (slower) then catecholemines because steroid hormones are not (stored). Hope that helps-
