| Accepted name: |
acylcarnitine hydrolase |
| Reaction: |
O-acylcarnitine + H2O = a fatty acid + L-carnitine |
| Other name(s): |
high activity acylcarnitine hydrolase; HACH; carnitine ester hydrolase; palmitoylcarnitine hydrolase; palmitoyl-L-carnitine hydrolase; long-chain acyl-L-carnitine hydrolase; palmitoyl carnitine hydrolase |
| Systematic name: |
O-acylcarnitine acylhydrolase |
| Comments: |
Acts on higher fatty acid (C6 to C18) esters of L-carnitine; highest activity is with O-decanoyl-L-carnitine. |
