[edit]Etymology
[edit]Blend of exon + intron (approximately).
Noun
[edit]exitron (plural exitrons)
- (genetics) One of a set of alternatively spliced internal regions of protein-coding exons.

- Therefore, in what ways might the processing and regulation of exitron splicing differ from that of conventional introns?
- 2015 May 1, Marquez Y, Höpfler M, Ayatollahi Z, Barta A, Kalyna M, “Unmasking alternative splicing inside protein-coding exons defines exitrons and their role in proteome plasticity”, in Genome Research[2], volume 25, number 7, , pages 995–1007:
- On the basis of their exonic and intronic nature, here we name them exitrons (exonic introns [EIs]) and define them as alternatively spliced internal regions of protein-coding exons
