UniProtKB description: Plays an essential role in hormone and neurotransmitter calcium-dependent exocytosis and endocytosis (PubMed:17301173, PubMed:18167541, PubMed:20484665, PubMed:22411134, PubMed:28813412, PubMed:7901002). Part of the SNARE (Soluble NSF Attachment Receptor) complex composed of SNAP25, STX1A and VAMP2 which mediates the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic plasma membrane (PubMed:14665625, PubMed:16888141, PubMed:19571812). STX1A and SNAP25 are localized on the plasma membrane while VAMP2 resides in synaptic vesicles. The pairing of the three SNAREs from the N-terminal SNARE motifs to the C-terminal anchors leads to the formation of the SNARE complex, which brings membranes into close proximity and results in final fusion (PubMed:14665625, PubMed:16888141, PubMed:19571812). Participates in the calcium-dependent regulation of acrosomal exocytosis in sperm (By similarity). Also plays an important role in the exocytosis of hormones such as insulin or glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) (By similarity).
