Abstract

A method to identify an agent for reducing an odor of a pyrazine derivative, comprising: wherein R1 represents methyl, ethyl, or acetyl; and R2, R3, and R4 each independently represent hydrogen or methyl, to an olfactory receptor OR5K1 or a polypeptide having at least 80% identity to the amino acid sequence of the olfactory receptor OR5K1;
