Immunoglobulin kappa locus

50802n/an/an/an/an/an/an/an/an/aImmunoglobulin kappa locus, also known as IGK@, is a region on human chromosome 2 that contains genes for the kappa (κ) light chains of antibodies (or immunoglobulins). Immunoglobulin kappa locus, also known as IGK@, is a region on human chromosome 2 that contains genes for the kappa (κ) light chains of antibodies (or immunoglobulins). In humans the κ chain is coded for by V (variable), J (joining) and C (constant) genes in this region. These genes undergo V(D)J recombination to generate a diverse repertoire of immunoglobulins.
