Steroid hormones are transported in the blood bound to plasma proteins. Other types, like amine and protein hormones, may not require such binding. This characteristic of steroid hormones is crucial for their function in the body. ;

Other hormone types, such as amine and protein hormones, often do not need to bind to plasma proteins for transport.
