Is noncompetitive inhibitor the same thing as allosteric inhibitor

However, in this case,the inhibitor stabilizes the inactive form of the enzyme, preventing the substrate from binding to the active site.......
just wondering, are noncompetitive inhibitors the same thing as allosteric inhibitors?

-
Non competitive inhibitors bind to a site other than the active site, altering the shape of the enzyme in such a way that if substrate can still bind to the active site, the enzyme still will not function as well as it can.

Allosteric inhibitors are often found in complexes of poly peptide subunits. The inhibitor also binds to a site other than the active site. However, in this case, the inhibitor stabilizes the inactive form of the enzyme, preventing the substrate from binding to the active site.
