Here you are: IMGT Web resources > IMGT Repertoire (IG and TR) > 1. Locus and genes

"+" or "-" indicates if the gene sequences have been found (+) or not been found (-) transcribed (T) and/or translated into protein (Pr). Arbitrarily that information is shown on the first line of each gene when the data have been confirmed by several studies.

Functionality is shown between parentheses, (F) and (P), when the accession number refers to rearranged genomic DNA or cDNA and the corresponding germline gene has not yet been isolated.
Functionality is shown between brackets, [F] and [P], when the accession number refers to genomic DNA, but not known as being germline or rearranged.

IMGT notes:
  1. (1) Functional but C-GENE is partial: CH1 partial in 5'.
  2. (2) Functional but C-GENE is partial: CH2 partial in 5'.
  3. (3) Functional but CH3 is spliced to CH4 in secretory mu cDNA, whereas it is spliced to the M1 exon in membrane mu cDNA (see [5]).
  4. (4) Functional but CH1 mu is spliced to CH1 delta in delta cDNA (see [7]).
  5. (5) Functional but C-GENE is partial: CH2 partial in 3'.
  6. (6) Functional but C-GENE is partial in 3': only CH1 (mu and delta) and CH2 delta are present.
  7. (7) Functional but C-GENE is partial in 3': only CH1 (mu and delta)are present, CH1 delta partial in 3'.
  8. (8) Pseudogene because of frameshifts in C-GENE.
  9. (9) Don't affect functionality but C-GENE is partial in 5' and 3': no CH1 and CH4 partial in 3'.
  10. (10) Don't affect functionality but C-GENE is partial in 3': only CH1 and CH2 are present.
  11. (11) Functional but there is a mutation in DONOR-SPLICE.
  12. (12) Functional but C-GENE is partial in 3': CH6, CH7 and CHS are missing.
  13. (13) Functional but C-GENE is partial in 5': only CH6, CH7 and CHS are present, CH6 partial in 5'.
