2,4,6-Trihydroxyacetophenone (THAP) is a chemical compound that is a derivative of phloroglucinol.
In an animal model, THAP was reported to enhance cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) activity.
THAP is also used as a matrix in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) for the analysis of acidic glycans and glycopeptides in negative ion mode.
