In enzymology an acylcarnitine hydrolase (EC 3.1.1.28) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionO-acylcarnitine + H2O a fatty acid + L-carnitineThus the two substrates of this enzyme are O-acylcarnitine and H2O whereas its two products are fatty acid and L-carnitine.This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is O-acylcarnitine acylhydrolase.
