The Notch signal transduction system functions in the
developmental differentiation of a wide variety of tissues
in every metazoan thus far examined (Artavanis-Tsako-
nas et al., 1999). In addition, recent evidence has shown
that Notch function is important even after cell fate
decisions are made. Examples include control of neurite
