Function Removes thioester-linked fatty acyl groups from various substrates including S-palmitoyl-CoA. Has the highest S- thioesterase activity for the acyl groups palmitic and myristic acid followed by other short- and long-chain acyl substrates. However, because of structural constraints, is unable to remove palmitate from peptides or proteins. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10417332, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12855696, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9341199}.
Subcellular Location Lysosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9341199}.
