Function

Guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor or Rho GDP-dissociation inhibitor (GDI) bind to GDP-bound Rho (RhoGDI) and Rab small GTPase maintaining it in an off-stage and preventing the GTPase localization to the membrane[1].

Relevance

Levels of RhoGDI are significantly low in tumor tissues[2].
