Domestic cat (Felis catus) IGK locus on chromosome A3
- The domestic cat (Felis catus) IGK locus is on chromosome A3.
The orientation of the locus is reverse (REV).
- The domestic cat (Felis catus) IGK locus spans 161 kilobases (kb),
from 10 kb upstream of the most 5' gene in the locus, IGKV9-18 (ORF), to 10 kb
downstream of the most 3' gene in the locus, IGKC (F).
The Locus representation
encompasses 200 kb including the 5' borne PAX8 and the 3' borne RPIA.
- The domestic cat (Felis catus) IGK locus consists
of 18 IGKV genes belonging to 8 IGKV subgroups, 5 IGKJ genes and
and 1 IGKC gene.
- The IGKV genes span 138 kilobases (kb),
the IGKJ genes span 11 kilobases (kb) and
the IGKC genes span 12 kilobases (kb).
Bornes of the domestic cat (Felis catus) IGK locus
- PAX8 (5' borne) has been identified 123 kb upstream of
IGKV9-18, the most 5' gene in the locus.
- RPIA (3' borne) has been identified 31 kb downstream of
IGKC, the most 3' gene in the locus.
