Dog (Canis lupus familiaris) IGK locus on chromosome 17
- The dog (Canis lupus familiaris) IGK locus is on chromosome 17.
The orientation of the locus is forward (FWD).
- The dog (Canis lupus familiaris) IGK locus spans 317 kilobases (kb),
from 10 kb upstream of the most 5' gene in the locus, IGKV9-24 (P), to 10 kb
downstream of the most 3' gene in the locus, IGKC (F).
The Locus representation
encompasses 400 kb including the 5' borne PAX8 and the 3' borne RPIA.
- The dog (Canis lupus familiaris) IGK locus consists of
25 (+ 2 non localized) IGKV genes belonging to 8 IGKV subgroups,
5 IGKJ genes and
1 IGKC gene.
- The IGKV genes span 292 kilobases (kb),
the IGKJ genes span 14 kilobases (kb) and
the IGKC genes span 12 kilobases (kb).
Bornes of the dog (Canis lupus familiaris) IGK locus
- PAX8 (5' borne) has been identified 143 kb upstream of
IGKV9-24, the most 5' gene in the locus.
- RPIA (3' borne) has been identified 32 kb downstream of
IGKC, the most 3' gene in the locus.
