The mouse IGK locus is located on the chromosome 6 at band 6C1.

Mouse chromosomes are organized according to their size as for the human chromosomes, however all of the chromosomes are acrocentric (having the centromere close to one end and thus no p-arm). There are 19 pairs of autosomes, plus X and Y sex chromosomes.
The orientation of the mouse IGK locus on the chromosome is forward (FWD).

A vertical red line indicates the localization of the IGK locus at 6C1.

A blue arrow indicates the orientation 5' → 3' of the locus, and the gene group order in the locus. The blue arrow is proportional to the size of the locus, indicated in kilobases (kb). The total number of genes in the locus is shown between parentheses.
