UAG

UAG is an acronym that may refer to multiple distinct entities across different fields. It does not denote a single organization, technology, or standard; the intended meaning is determined by context.

In molecular biology, UAG designates one of the three RNA stop codons, known as the amber codon. When translated, it signals ribosomes to terminate protein synthesis. UAG can be reassigned in genetic engineering experiments using specialized tRNAs or release factors.

In information technology and cybersecurity history, UAG stood for Citrix Unified Access Gateway, a hardware or software appliance that provided secure remote access to a corporation’s internal applications. It was later rebranded or integrated into Citrix Gateway technologies as remote access requirements evolved.

In higher education, UAG commonly stands for Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara, a private university in Guadalajara, Mexico. The acronym is also used by other autonomous universities in Spanish-speaking countries, causing variation in local usage.

Additional uses include corporate brand names and project abbreviations in various sectors; because UAG is not unique, precise interpretation relies on surrounding context, such as industry, country, or organizational naming conventions.
