The '''RAG (Recombination Activating Gene) complex protein''' or '''V(D)J recombination-activating protein''' is composed of two subunits, RAG-1 and RAG-2. RAG-1 and RAG-2 are critical in T and B cell maturation, promoting an adaptive immune response.

<scene name='77/778335/Rag2/1'> RAG2</scene> contains a plant homeodomain (PHD) near its C terminus (RAG2-PHD). This is unique because when a peptide is not being modified, a peptide N-terminal occupies the binding site, meaning that it is self-regulated. There is significantly less structural data on RAG2 due to a debate about the function of RAG2. Many challenge the belief that RAG2 cuts the RSS sequence, believing instead that RAG2 acts as a regulatory component to the complex.
