aminoohormone
An amino hormone is a type of hormone that is derived from a single amino acid. Despite their simple chemical structure, amino hormones are incredibly diverse and play crucial roles in regulating a wide range of physiological processes. They are synthesized in endocrine glands or specialized cells and are released into the bloodstream to travel to target cells. These target cells possess specific receptors that bind to the amino hormone, initiating a signaling cascade that ultimately alters cellular function.
The small size and lipophobic nature of most amino hormones mean they typically cannot cross the cell
