Grail is a type I transmembrane protein localized in the transferrin-recycling endocytic pathway, and it plays a crucial role on the induction of anergy by abrogating the expression of cytokines in T cells.[1] A recent study has shown that Grail forms a ternary complex with Otub-1 and USP8, which regulates T cell anergy.[2],[3] Recently, a number of proteins were identified to be associated with Grail.
