As far as i know, introns do not encode protein products, but living creatures still have them. So what’s their function ?

P/s: Sorry for my grammar

Eukaryotic organisms possess introns for few purposes. One of them which i know is protein isoform formation, where different combinations of exons can give rise to different forms of the same protein which wouldn't have been possible otherwise , if we only had exons. Also introns code for SiRNAs and few other RNAs.
