Function: Potent inhibitor of both trypsin and chymotrypsin.
 
Subcellular location: Secreted.
Induction: Mechanical damage (i.e. insect chewing) to this plant results in the systemic release of a factor from the wound site. Within the leaves it induces the cytoplasmic synthesis of proteinase inhibitors I and II.
Similarity: Belongs to the protease inhibitor I20 (potato type II proteinase inhibitor) family. {ECO:0000305}.
