Well, If it is an SDS-PAGE gel, then the act of boiling the protein in detergent generally denatures the protein and breaks apart non-covalent interactions.
To assess dimerisation, a non-denaturing technique might be more helpful. Native-PAGE, Size Exlusion Chromatography, Analytical Ultracentrifugation... SEC with a suitable column for your predicted protein size would probably be a first thing to try. If you have SEC with in-line MALLS, even better.
