If acetylcholinesterase were absent, acetylcholine would accumulate in the synaptic cleft, leading to prolonged stimulation of postsynaptic receptors. This could result in continuous muscle contraction, paralysis, or overstimulation of the nervous system, potentially causing symptoms such as muscle spasms and respiratory failure. Ultimately, the absence of this enzyme disrupts normal neurotransmission and can be life-threatening.
