Hepatocyte TRAF3 promotes liver steatosis and systemic insulin resistance through targeting TAK1-dependent signalling

TRAF family proteins regulate immune signalling cascades. Here, the authors show that TRAF3 is upregulated in the liver in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, promoting insulin resistance, inflammation and hepatic steatosis via its interaction with the kinase TAK1.
