from 10 kb upstream of the most 5' gene in the locus, IGKV2-30 (F), 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 Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius) IGK locus consists of 32
IGKV genes belonging to 11 IGKV subgroups, 5 IGKJ genes
and 1 IGKC gene.
