T regulatory (Treg) cells are essential for maintaining immune homeostasis, but how the stability of their lineage and function is regulated is unclear. Here the authors show that Ndfip1 is essential for suppressing Tregcell IL-4 production and metabolic alteration to preserve Treg lineage and function.
