Produces ATP from ADP in the presence of a proton gradient across the membrane. The gamma chain is believed to be important in regulating ATPase activity and the flow of protons through the CF(0) complex. Inceptin is a proteolytic fragment produced by insect larvae that previously ingested the protein. This peptide mediate plant perception of herbivory through the induction of volatile, phenylpropanoid and protease inhibitor defenses such as ethylene, jasmonic acid and salicylic acid for example.
