Hepatocyte TIPE2 is a fasting-induced Raf-1 inactivator that drives hepatic gluconeogenesis to maintain glucose homeostasis

The liver regulates metabolic balance during fasting-feeding cycle. Hepatic adaptation to fasting is precisely modulated on multiple levels. Tumor necrosis factor- α-induced protein 8-like 2 (TIPE2) is a negative regulator of immunity that reduces several liver pathologies, but its physiological roles in hepatic metabolism are largely unknown.
