Most cancer tissues showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity. A few cases of skin, urothelial and lung cancers were weakly stained or negative.
Cancer tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity with additional membranous staining in several cases. Several hepatocellular carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
GDI2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
RABGDIB
Description
GDP dissociation inhibitor 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
GDP dissociation inhibitors are proteins that regulate the GDP-GTP exchange reaction of members of the rab family, small GTP-binding proteins of the ras superfamily, that are involved in vesicular trafficking of molecules between cellular organelles. GDIs slow the rate of dissociation of GDP from rab proteins and release GDP from membrane-bound rabs. GDI2 is ubiquitously expressed. The GDI2 gene contains many repetitive elements indicating that it may be prone to inversion/deletion rearrangements. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
