Which one of the following is a peptide hormone?

  1. Adrenaline
  2. Glucagon
  3. Testosterone
  4. Thyroxine

Answer

(2) Glucagon

Solution

Hormones are of three types by chemical nature:

Steroids – testosterone, estrogens, progesterone.

Amino acid derivatives – adrenaline (epinephrine), thyroxine.

Polypeptides / proteins – insulin, glucagon.

∴ Glucagon (a polypeptide of 29 amino acids secreted by the α-cells of the pancreas) is a peptide hormone.

Answer: (2)
