Reaction: (R)-2-methylpyrrolidine + NADP+ = 2-methyl-1-pyrroline + NADPH + H+
Other name(s): (R)-imine reductase (ambiguous)
Systematic name: (R)-2-methylpyrrolidine:NADP+ 2-oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme from the bacterium Streptomyces sp. GF3587 is highly specific for its substrate and forms only the (R) isomer.
