primordial germ cell [FBbt_00000092]

Cell that forms at the posterior pole of the early embryo. It is a diploid germ cell that enters into close association with the somatic cells of the gonad and proliferates during larval stages to give rise to male or female germ cells. Can be identified by expression of vasa (Slaidina et al., 2020).
