A promegakaryocyte is a precursor cell for a megakaryocyte, arising from a megakaryoblast.
Promegakaryocyte
The developmental stages of the megakaryocyte are: CFU-Me (pluripotential hemopoietic stem cell or hemocytoblast) → megakaryoblast → promegakaryocyte → megakaryocyte.
When the megakaryoblast matures into the promegakaryocyte, it undergoes endoreduplication[1] and forms a promegakaryocyte which has multiple nuclei, azurophilic granules, and a basophilic cytoplasm.[2] The promegakaryocyte has rotary motion, but no forward migration.[3]
