The enzyme acylcarnitine hydrolase (EC 3.1.1.28) catalyzes the reaction

O-acylcarnitine + H₂O

\rightleftharpoons

a fatty acid + L-carnitine

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds. The systematic name is O-acylcarnitine acylhydrolase. Other names in common use include high activity acylcarnitine hydrolase, HACH, carnitine ester hydrolase, palmitoylcarnitine hydrolase, palmitoyl-L-carnitine hydrolase, long-chain acyl-L-carnitine hydrolase, and palmitoyl carnitine hydrolase.
