IGKC

Immunoglobulin kappa constant, also known as IGKC, is a human gene that encodes the constant domain of kappa-type light chains for antibodies.{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: IGKC immunoglobulin kappa constant| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=3514}} It is found on chromosome 2, in humans, within the Immunoglobulin kappa locus, IGK@.
