Difference between Autacoid and Hormone

Autacoid vs. Hormone

Autacoids or "autocoids" are biological factors which act like local hormones, have a brief duration, and act near the site of synthesis. A hormone (from the Greek participle “ὁρμῶ”, "to set in motion, urge on") is any member of a class of signaling molecules produced by glands in multicellular organisms that are transported by the circulatory system to target distant organs to regulate physiology and behaviour.

Similarities between Autacoid and Hormone

Autacoid and Hormone have 3 things in common (in Unionpedia): Eicosanoid, Hormone, Paracrine signalling.

Eicosanoid

Eicosanoids are signaling molecules made by the enzymatic or non-enzymatic oxidation of arachidonic acid or other polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that are, similar to arachidonic acid, 20 carbon units in length.
