Catalyzes the NAD(+)-dependent oxidation of L-carnitine to 3-dehydrocarnitine. Is specific for L-carnitine and NAD(+) as substrates since D-carnitine, other carnitine analogs such as choline and betaine, and NADP(+) are not substrates. Despite a high similarity to 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenases, cannot dehydrogenate 3-hydroxybutylate and 3-hydroxybutyl-CoA. Is probably involved in a L-carnitine degradation pathway that allows Xanthomonas translucens to grow on L-carnitine as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen.

Belongs to the 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase family. L-carnitine dehydrogenase subfamily.
