The increase in PKA activity also leads to closure of ATP-sensitive potassium channels, which in turn causes depolarisation of the cell membrane and opening of voltage-dependent calcium channels, resulting in uptake of calcium and stimulation of the exocytosis of secretory granules and thus secretion of insulin
