Sheep (Ovis aries) IGK locus
- The sheep (Ovis aries) IGK locus is on
chromosome 3.
The orientation of the locus is reverse (REV).
-
The sheep (Ovis aries) IGK locus spans 150 kilobases (kb), from 10 kb upstream of the most 5' gene in the locus,
IGKV1-21 (ORF), to 10 kb downstream of the most 3' gene in the locus, IGKC (F).
The Locus representation encompasses 200 kb including the 3' borne RPIA.
- The sheep (Ovis aries) IGK locus consists
of 18 IGKV genes belonging to 6 IGKV subgroups, 4 IGKJ genes
and 1 IGKC gene.
- The IGKV genes span 132 kilobases (kb), the IGKJ genes span 6429 bases (b) and
the IGKC genes span 11 kilobases (kb).
Clusters
- The CLUSTER includes 18 IGKV genes (5 genes are functional, 1 gene is ORF and 12
genes are pseudogenes), 4 IGKJ genes (1 gene is functional and 3 genes are ORF)
and 1 IGKC gene functional.
Bornes of the sheep (Ovis aries) IGK locus
- RPIA (3' borne) has been identified 43 kb downstream of
IGKC, the most 3' gene in the locus.
