The present invention provides a VIP2 receptor gene (seq ID No.1), and polynucleotide probes specifically binding to this gene or to naturally occurring variants thereof, as well as polypeptide probes specifically binding to the receptor polypeptide or to naturally occurring variants thereof. Expression of the gene in a host is also useful for providing means for use in the evaluation of VIP2 agonists and antagonists.
