Nucleoside diphosphate kinase 1 (NDPK1) from Trypanosoma cruzi has a cytosolic localization.
NDPK1 generates large membrane-free granules that depends on its hexameric structure.
Granules are specific for the canonical isoform of NDPK.
Granules are present in metacyclic trypomastigotes and stressed epimastigotes.
