IGH on Ensembl

For NCBI, searching on "IGH" with Entrez returns results including NG_001019, which is about 1.29 Mbp of chr 14. Nonetheless, searching with ensembl rest api for IGH (http://rest.ensembl.org/lookup/symbol/homo_sapiens/IGH) there is no record. What should be the gene symbol to search for IGH sequence on Ensembl? Thank you!

ensembl igh
