The structure and multimerization of adiponectin. (a) The domain structure of human adiponectin. (b) Adiponectin multimerization and analysis by velocity sedimentation. Separation of low-molecular weight (LMW) and high-molecular weight (HMW) multimers was performed by centrifugation on a 5 to 20% sucrose density gradient. Fractions 2 to 7 of the gradient contain the LMW multimers, while the HMW multimers are found in fractions 8 to 11. Reproduced from Whitehead JP and colleagues [5].
