Reservosomes: multipurpose organelles?

Narcisa Cunha-e-Silva et al. Parasitol Res. 2006 Sep.

Abstract

Reservosomes are endocytic organelles from Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes that store proteins and lipids for future use. The lack of molecular markers for the compartments of this parasite makes it difficult to clarify all reservosome functions, as they present characteristics of pre-lysosomes, lysosomes and recycling compartments.
