Gene targeting experiments point to key roles of Notch receptors, ligands, modulators and downstream targets in somitogenesis, neurogenesis and vascular development. Here we report the embryonic expression of the hairy-related basic helix-loop-helix gene HeyL in wild-type and Notch pathway mutant mice. We show that HeyL is strongly expressed in the presomitic mesoderm, the somites, the peripheral nervous system and smooth muscle of all arteries. Loss of HeyL expression at the level of nascent somites in Notch1 and Delta-like1 knockout mutants implicates HeyL as a Notch effector during somite formation. Furthermore, HeyL expression in vascular smooth muscle cells and in the thymus strikingly overlaps with that of Notch3, mutations of which underlie the CADASIL vascular disorder.
