FNDC5 gene with another protein called Xuemei Proxy (PEP) is a 209 amino acid protein coding. These genes mainly in heart tissue, skeletal muscle and brain expressed. This study aimed to clarify the pattern of expression of this gene in mouse embryonic cells Heart cells taken. The mouse embryonic stem cells as a model for cardiac differentiation induced by ascorbic acid used and the pattern of expression of PEP at certain stages of differentiation were analyzed by Real-Time PCR technique. The results show a dramatic increase in PEP gene expression in the adult cardiomyocytes. PEP increased expression of genes may have a role in later stages cardiogenesis is possible that further studies are needed to identify it.
