epinephrine and norepinephrine
Catecholamines
catecholamines
Adrenaline, also known as epinephrine, belongs to the family of hormones called catecholamines. This group also includes norepinephrine and dopamine, which are derived from the amino acid tyrosine. Catecholamines are involved in the body's stress response, regulating functions like heart rate, blood pressure, and energy mobilization during "fight or flight" situations.
Manufactured chiefly by the chromaffin cells of the adrenal glands, these hormones are involved in readying the body for the "fight-or-flight" response (also known as the alarm reaction).
The three catecholamines are dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. They are neurotransmitters and hormones that play key roles in the body's stress response and regulation of mood, attention, and arousal.
adrenal corticotropic hormone (ACTH), calcitonin, catecholamines, gastrin, human chorionic gonadogropin (hCG), and prolactin
peptide hormones and catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine)
It is an amine attached to a catechol group thus the name catecholamine, they are naturally occurring hormones and nerotransmitters such as: dopamine, epinephrine & nor-epinephrine.

Catecholamines are soluble in water.
catecholamines are chemical transmitters,polar compounds readily oxidized has catechol rings and amines such as dopamine nor-epinpherene and serotenie non- catecholamines with out catechol rings
Hormones can be classified into three main chemical groups: peptide hormones, steroid hormones, and amine hormones. Peptide hormones, such as insulin, are made up of amino acids and are typically water-soluble. Steroid hormones, like cortisol and testosterone, are derived from cholesterol and are lipid-soluble. Amine hormones, which include thyroid hormones and catecholamines like adrenaline, are derived from single amino acids and can be either water-soluble or lipid-soluble, depending on their structure.
