EC_number2.7.1.166

3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid kinase (, kdkA (gene), Kdo kinase) is an enzyme with systematic name ATP:(KDO)-lipid IVA 3-deoxy-alpha-D-manno-oct-2-ulopyranose 4-phosphotransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

: alpha-Kdo-(2-6)-lipid IVA + ATP \rightleftharpoons 4-O-phospho-alpha-Kdo-(2-6)-lipid IVA + ADP

The enzyme phosphorylates the 4-OH position of KDO in (KDO)-lipid IVA.
