CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + acetate = ADP + acetyl phosphate.

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + propanoate = ADP + propanoyl phosphate.

PATHWAY: Metabolic intermediate biosynthesis; acetyl-CoA biosynthesis; acetyl-CoA from acetate: step 1/2.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm (By similarity).

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the acetokinase family.
