Stabilize the membrane.

Explanation:

Cholesterol is part of the plasmatic membrane along with lipids and proteins. Its function is to stabilize the membrane since it keeps the phospholipids together, avoiding gaps between them that make the membrane less impermeable. Also, it avoids the compacting of the phospholipids when the temperatures are too low since it increases the melting point. If phospholipids were too close, small molecules would not pass through the membrane as efficiently as they should. Due to the regulation that cholesterol has on the membrane, we can say that it stabilizes it.

there are so many examples for that in different areas, like biology experiment carried out in our lab recently.
