intron /in·tron/ (in´tron) a noncoding sequence between two coding sequences within a gene, processed out in the formation of mature mRNA.

in·tron (

A segment of a gene situated between exons that does not function in coding for protein synthesis.

intron

[in′tron]

Etymology: L, intra, within, regin, region

a sequence of nucleotides in eukaryotic DNA that does not code for amino acids and interrupts the coding sequence of a gene. Some genes contain numerous long introns. Compare exon.

intron

untranslated, intervening sequences that are interspersed between coding sequences of a particular gene of almost all eukaryocytic genes and which are excised from the primary RNA transcript to yield mRNA.

intron-exon junction

introns are removed by the catalytic action of small nuclear riboproteins (snRNPs) which bind to special recognition sequences at the 5,(donor junction) and 3,(receptor junction) to form a complex called a spliceosome.
