Les cellules germinales primordiales constituent l'origine commune des spermatozoïdes et des ovules et donc de la lignée germinale. Elles sont diploïdes, tout comme les autres cellules du corps et elles peuvent déjà être mises en évidence à la deuxième semaine dans l'ectoderme primaire (épiblaste) de l'embryon humain.
