SARS-CoV-2 infection of cells shown in green, left. This is inhibited by a modified form of cholesterol called 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC), as seen in the cells in the right image. 25HC activates an enzyme called ACAT, found inside cells in the endoplasmic reticulum. ACAT then depletes accessible cholesterol on the cell’s membrane. It is a normally occurring process that gets kicked into high gear during some viral infections.
