Sheep (Ovis aries) IGL locus on chromosome 17

The sheep (Ovis aries) IGL locus is on chromosome 17. The orientation of the locus is forward (FWD).
The sheep (Ovis aries) IGL locus spans 831 kilobases (kb), from 10 kb upstream of the most 5' gene in the locus, IGLV5-121 (P), to 10 kb downstream of the most 3' gene in the locus, IGLC2 (F). The Locus representation encompasses 1000 kb including the 5' borne SLC5A1 and the 3' borne VPREB3.
The sheep (Ovis aries) IGL locus consists of 121 (+ 6 non localized) IGLV genes belonging to 9 IGLV subgroups, 2 IGLJ genes belonging to 2 IGLJ sets and 2 IGLC genes.
The IGLV genes span 770 kilobases (kb), the IGLJ genes span 13 kilobases (kb) and the IGLC genes span 28 kilobases (kb).

SLC5A1 (5' borne) has been identified 54 kb upstream of IGLV5-121, the most 5' gene in the locus.
VPREB3 (3' borne) has been identified 48 kb downstream of IGLC2, the most 3' gene in the locus.
