Abstract:

Coronavirus is a kind of positive single stranded RNA virus. It is proven that 7 coronaviruses can infect human beings,including human coronavirus 229E(HCoV-229E),middle east respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus(MERSr-CoV),severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus(SARSr-CoV),human coronavirus OC43,human coronavirus HKU1,human coronavirus NL63 and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2). Lipids are closely related to human pathogenic coronavirus infection,such as phospholipids,fatty acids and cholesterol. This article reviews the role of lipids and lipid related regulatory enzymes in coronavirus infection.

Key words: Lipid, Coronavirus, Infection, Enzyme
