The '''RAG 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. | The '''RAG (Recombination Activating Gene) complex protein''' or '''V(D)J recombination-activating protein''' is composed of two subunits, RAG-1 and RAG-2.
