PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To identify substances inhibiting butyl acrylate odor.SOLUTION: A search method of butyl acrylate odor inhibitor comprises the steps of: adding test materials and butyl acrylate into at least one kind of olfactory receptor polypeptides selected from a group consisting of OR1A1, OR2W1, OR4Q3, and polypeptides having at least 80% amino acid sequence identity to each of them; measuring a response of the olfactory receptor polypeptide to butyl acrylate; and identifying the test materials inhibiting the response of the olfactory receptor polypeptide on the basis of the response measured. |
