We present a novel realization of the Z2xZ2-graded Lie superalgebra gl(m1,m2|n1,n2) inside an algebraic extension of the enveloping algebra of the Z2-graded Lie superalgebra gl(m|n), with m = m(1) + m(2) and n = n(1) + n(2). A consequence of this realization is that the representations of gl(m|n) "lift up" to representations of gl(m1,m2|n1,n2), with matrix elements differing only by a sign, which we are able to characterize concisely.We present a novel realization of the Z2xZ2-graded Lie superalgebra gl(m1,m2|n1,n2) inside an algebraic extension of the enveloping algebra of the Z2-graded Lie superalgebra gl(m|n), with m = m(1) + m(2) and n = n(1) + n(2).
