    Summary
    Predicted to enable antigen binding activity and immunoglobulin receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within B cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in extracellular region and plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of immunoglobulin complex, circulating. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver and biliary system. Orthologous to human IGKC (immunoglobulin kappa constant). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
