PROP1은 DNA 결합과 전사 활성화 능력을 모두 가지고 있다. 이것의 표현은 뇌하수체 임질도트로피의 존재생식과 더불어 체내유전, 유당류, 가오도메이드형 흉선 등의 존재생식으로 이어진다. PROP1에서 돌연변이를 불활성화하면 루틴화 호르몬(LH; MIM 152780), 모낭 자극 호르몬(FSH; MIM 136530), 성장 호르몬(GH; MIM 139250), 프로락틴(PRL; MIM 176760), 갑상선 자극 호르몬(TSH; MIM 188540)이 결핍된다. 복합 뇌하수체 호르몬 결핍증(CPHD; MIM 262600)을 참조하십시오.[OMIM에 의해 제공][6]
