Neuropilin-1 (NRP1), a transmembrane receptor that is conservative compared to SARS-CoV-2, has been identified as a host mediator for SARS-CoV-2 cell entry and infection (Cantuti-Castelvetri et al., 2020; Daly et al., 2020; Baindara et al., 2022). This evidence concerns the gene NRP1 and infection.
