CC   -!- FUNCTION: Inhibits trypsin.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted.
CC   -!- DOMAIN: The presence of a 'disulfide through disulfide knot'
CC       structurally defines this protein as a knottin.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the protease inhibitor I7 (squash-type serine
CC       protease inhibitor) family. {ECO:0000305}.
