Catalyzes the hydrolysis of acyl-CoAs into free fatty acids and coenzyme A (CoASH), regulating their respective intracellular levels. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of phytanoyl-CoA and pristanoyl-CoA, two methyl-branched fatty acids derived from phytol, that enter the body via the diet.
Subcellular locations: Peroxisome
Localization to the peroxisome is uncertain since the potential C-terminal peroxisome targeting signal found in the mouse ortholog is not perfectly conserved.
Subcellular locations: Cytoplasm
Recombinant N-terminally GFP-tagged protein localizes to the cytosol.
