Detailed explanation-1: -The Rh factor is an inherited protein that can be found on the surface of the red blood cell. If your blood type is positive, then your blood cells have the Rh protein. If your blood type is negative, then your blood cells lack the Rh protein.

Detailed explanation-2: -Common blood types The protein on the surface of your red blood cells determines your blood type. Each blood type also has a positive or negative factor. The positive or negative next to the blood type is your Rh factor. Your Rh factor doesn’t cause problems or hurt your health in any way.

Detailed explanation-3: -These are determined by the presence or absence of two antigens – A and B – on the surface of red blood cells. There is also a protein called the Rh factor, which can be either present (+) or absent (–), and this creates the eight most common blood types (A+, A-, B+, B-, O+, O-, AB+, AB-).

Detailed explanation-4: -The Rh factor is a protein that can be found on the surface of red blood cells. If your blood cells have this protein, you are Rh positive. If your blood cells do not have this protein, you are Rh negative. The “positive” or “negative” part of your blood type, such as O positive or A negative, refers to your Rh status.

Detailed explanation-5: -Rh antigens, also called Rhesus antigens, are transmembrane proteins expressed at the surface of erythrocytes. They appear to be used for the transport of CO2 and/or ammonia across the plasma membrane. RBCs that are Rh positive express the one designated D (RhD antigen).
