Difference between enzyme and hormone

Enzyme and hormones are the two terms we used. There is so many difference between the enzyme and the hormones. Enzyme and hormones are the chemicals which produced in our body. Enzyme and hormone both have different function in our body.

Here the difference between the enzyme and the hormones.

	Enzyme	Hormone
Definition	Enzyme is the chemical produced by the body which acts as biocatalyst into the body.	Hormone is chemically produced into the body regulates the activity of certain cells or organs.
Site of Secretion	Hormone secreted by the exocrine gland.	Hormones are secreted by the endocrine gland.
Release	Enzymes act at the place where they are released into the body.	Hormones are circulated in body through the blood and act
Function	It regulates the biochemical reaction. Enzyme break the carbohydrate, protein, and lipids are into small molecules, transform it into the chemical energy which is used	Hormones regulate many activities like digestion, metabolism, growth, reproduction, moods, electrolytic balances etc. It gives the signal to cell to perform the activity.
Nature	Enzyme is the protein which may contain metal molecules.	Hormones are made up of protein and steroid
Molecular Weight	Enzyme have high molecular weight	Hormones have low molecular weight
Example	Oxidoreductase, Transferase, Hydrolase etc	Thyroid, parathyroid, TSH, Insulin etc
Factor	Affected by pH, temperature etc	Not affected by the temperature and pH.
Site of action	Enzymes form and act at the site of production	Hormones form and act at different sites
Structure	Enzyme does not alter the structure. It is reusable.	Hormones get destroyed so it cannot be reused
Disease possibility	Chances of occurring disease are less due to enzyme dysfunction	Chances of disease are more due to hormone dysfunction
Diffusion	They are nondiffusible through the cell membrane.	They are diffusible through cell membrane.
Prosthetic Group	Enzyme contains coenzyme and cofactor as prosthetic group.	Hormone does not have prosthetic group.
