DNA Primase
DNA primase is an enzyme involved in the replication of DNA.
Primase catalyzes the synthesis of a short RNA (or DNA in some organisms segment called a primer complementary to a ssDNA template. Primase is of key importance in DNA replication because no known DNA polymerases can initiate the synthesis of a DNA strand without an initial RNA or DNA primer (for temporary DNA elongation)
