Valine is classified as a non-polar amino acid. Its side chain consists of a branched hydrocarbon structure, which lacks significant electronegative atoms that would create polarity. As a result, valine tends to be hydrophobic and prefers to be found in the interior of proteins, away from the aqueous environment.
Valine is an amino acid, one of the biochemical components of proteins. A protein can consist of hundreds of amino acids. So valine is not a protein but a part of a protein in the way that one piece is not an entire jigsaw puzzle :).

Valine is a branched-chain amino acid that is non-polar and hydrophobic, while glutamic acid is a polar, negatively charged amino acid that is hydrophilic. Valine is involved in protein synthesis and energy production, while glutamic acid plays a role in neurotransmission and protein synthesis.

nonpolar. The fat molecules in peanut butter are nonpolar, that is why peanut butter doesn't evenly mix with water, a polar substance.
Polar substances dissolve other polar substances, and nonpolar substances dissolve other nonpolar substances. A polar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance and a nonpolar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance.
