3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid kinase (, ''kdkA (gene)'', ''Kdo kinase'') is an
enzyme
An enzyme () is a protein that acts as a biological catalyst by accelerating chemical reactions. The molecules upon which enzymes may act are called substrate (chemistry), substrates, and the enzyme converts the substrates into different mol ...
