The enzyme feruloyl esterase (EC 3.1.1.73) catalyzes the reaction

feruloyl-polysaccharide + H2O ferulate + polysaccharide

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds. The systematic name is 4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamoyl-sugar hydrolase. Other names in common use include ferulic acid esterase (FAE), hydroxycinnamoyl esterase, hemicellulase accessory enzyme, cinnamoyl ester hydrolase (cinnAE).

Structural studies

As of late 2007, 6 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1USW, 1UWC, 1UZA, 2BJH, 2HL6, and 2IX9.
