Blood type is determined by the presence of proteins on our red blood cells. These proteins are called agglutinogens.

The proteins are called agglutinogens.

Explanation:

Agglutinogens are antigens or proteins that are found on the surface of red blood cells which lead to the formation of agglutinins. These is used to determine bloody types. Agglutinins are the antibodies that reacts against agglutinogens. For example if a person have blood type A positive, the type A cells are covered with A agglutinogens, Type B is covered with B agglutinogen, Type AB have both A and B agglutinogen and type O have no agglutinogen.
