UBA commonly stands for ubiquitin-associated domain in biochemistry. UBA domains are protein motifs that bind ubiquitin and are found in many ubiquitin-binding proteins. They play roles in cellular processes such as protein degradation, DNA repair, and signal transduction by mediating interactions with ubiquitin or polyubiquitin chains.

Other uses exist, including lesser-known organizations or terms, so disambiguation is recommended when the acronym appears without context.
