Most likely, it is being inherited from $TZ in the environment:

$ TZ=UTC date
Fri Mar  5 13:45:10 UTC 2010
$ TZ=UCT date
Fri Mar  5 13:45:13 UCT 2010

If it is a typo in your environment, then check your configuration files
(such as ~/.bashrc...) for who might have been setting it wrongly in the
first place.
