Several non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and breast cancers along with a single case of papillary adenocarcinoma of thyroid showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear immunoreactivity. Remaining tumour tissues were negative.
A majority of the cancer tissues were negative. Several cases of gliomas showed strong nuclear positivity in a fraction of tumor cells.

Rho GDP dissociation inhibitor (GDI) beta (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Members of the Rho (or ARH) protein family (see MIM 165390) and other Ras-related small GTP-binding proteins (see MIM 179520) are involved in diverse cellular events, including cell signaling, proliferation, cytoskeletal organization, and secretion. The GTP-binding proteins are active only in the GTP-bound state. At least 3 classes of proteins tightly regulate cycling between the GTP-bound and GDP-bound states: GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs), guanine nucleotide-releasing factors (GRFs), and GDP-dissociation inhibitors (GDIs). The GDIs, including ARHGDIB, decrease the rate of GDP dissociation from Ras-like GTPases (summary by Scherle et al., 1993 [PubMed 8356058]).[supplied by OMIM, Dec 2010]
