RAG1 Antibody / Recombination Activating Gene 1

Recombination activating gene 1 also known as RAG-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RAG1 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is involved in activation of immunoglobulin V-D-J recombination. The encoded protein is involved in recognition of the DNA substrate, but stable binding and cleavage activity also requires RAG2. Defects in this gene can be the cause of several diseases.
