Western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) IGK locus on chromosome 2A

The Western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) IGK locus is on chromosome 2A. The orientation of the locus is reverse (REV).
The Western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) IGK locus spans 892 kilobases (kb), from 10 kb upstream the most 5' gene in the locus, IGKV1-49 (F), to 10 kb upstream of the most 3' gene in the locus, IGKC (F). The Locus representation encompasses 800 kb including the 5' borne PAX8 and the 3' borne RPIA without taking into account the gaps lengths.
The Western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) IGK locus consists of 49 genes : 43 IGKV genes belonging to 7 subgroups, 5 IGKJ genes belonging to 5 sets and 1 IGKC gene .
The IGKV genes span 877 kb, the IGKJ genes span 3 kb and the IGKC gene spans 11 kb.

PAX8 (5' borne) has been identified 125 kb upstream of IGKV1-49, the most 5' gene in the locus.
RPIA (3' borne) has been identified 200 kb downstream of IGKC, the most 3' gene in the locus.
