The Importance of Hormones. The function of hormones in the body is inarguably very important; even the slightest change in how a hormone works could impact the entire body. In order to perform all the necessary processes normally, such as growth, development, metabolism, movement, and reproduction, hormones are needed.ut simply, hormones are the body s chemical messengers that relay a signal from cell to cell. Endocrine glands produce and release these hormones into the bloodstream, where they will travel and bind with a specific receptor, to reproduce or to trigger the production of proteins.
Among the various functions of proteins in the body are hormonal functions. Hormones that are proteins are the predominant type of this class of organic compounds in the body. The other type of hormones in humans is the steroidal hormones. This latter class of hormones is derived from the molecule of cholesterol.
