Viruses work by entering cells and commandeering their protein synthesis and reproductive machinery to generate copies of themselves, which leads to cell death and tissue damage. Called "entry factors", these proteins have a variety of functions, including maintenance of lung health and serving as components of signal transduction pathways. The entry factors a virus uses influence which tissues it attacks and have a sizable impact on how a viral infection affects its host. To understand how SARS-CoV-2 affects the human body and how to combat those effects, it is critical to identify entry factors and the variations thereof that facilitate viral entry.
