Mutations in SLURP1, encoding a secreted protein of keratinocytes, cause a palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) known as mal de Meleda [1]. When the link between SLURP1 mutations and mal de Meleda was uncovered, there was speculation that SLURP1 might be a ligand for a cell-surface receptor of keratinocytes [1]. Also, because the predicted structure of SLURP1 resembled cobra neurotoxins, there was speculation that SLURP1 might influence
