3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid kinase (EC 2.7.1.166 kdkA (gene) Kdo kinase) is an enzyme with system 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 4-O-phospho-alpha-Kdo-(2->6)-lipid IVA + ADPThe enzyme phosphorylates the 4-OH position of KDO in (KDO)-lipid IVA.
