COOH refers to a carboxyl group, which is a functional group derived from carboxylic acids. It consists of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and single-bonded to a hydroxyl group (HO) as shown in the chemical formula: –COOH. The carboxyl group is important in biochemistry and organic chemistry because it is involved in the formation of peptide bonds during protein synthesis, the metabolism of fatty acids, and the regulation of pH in the body.*
