ENTRY       EC 2.7.2.1
NAME        Acetate kinase
            Acetokinase
CLASS       Transferases
            Transferring phosphorus-containing groups
            Phosphotransferases with a carboxyl group as acceptor
SYSNAME     ATP:acetate phosphotransferase
REACTION    ATP + Acetate = ADP + Acetyl phosphate
SUBSTRATE   ATP
            Acetate
            Propanoate
PRODUCT     ADP
            Acetyl phosphate
            Propanoyl phosphate
COMMENT     Propanoate also acts as acceptor, but more slowly.
PATHWAY     PATH: MAP00620  Pyruvate metabolism
            PATH: MAP00640  Propanoate metabolism
